What buyers should know
- Every home has a story. Many large homes were divided into apartments in the mid-1900s and have since been restored. Ask about the history of conversions, permits, and updates.
- Older systems deserve a close look. Plan for a thorough inspection, including electrical, plumbing, sewer line, roof, and foundation.
- Check for historic district rules. Parts of the neighborhood fall within local historic districts, where exterior changes may need city review.
- A neighborhood on the move. Renovations, young families, and new businesses have brought new energy in recent decades, along with conversations about affordability and longtime residents.
