Alicia, I understand fully what your block must be like. There are 7 houses on my block, all one one side of the street. Four of them were abandoned/shells 3 years ago. Now there’s only one left unfinished…mine, and hopefully soon to be completed.
Alicia, just like ann I fully understand. I moved to the 500 block of 33rd St a little over 3 years ago and there were several boarded up houses and I have a few vacant lots next to me. There has been a flury of renovation over the past two years and there are several houses for sale on the 400 and 500 blocks and more projects underway. I just wish some of these properties would start selling as they have been on the market for a period of time. That doesn’t necessarily sit well with me given a potential move to St. Louis in the future.
I’ve visited your block. Not terribly inspiring but looks like things are moving in a new direction for ya. Those abandoned homes are selling for more than our little bungalow in Fulton Hill !! Wow!
WOw I like 513 North 31St myself. It fooled me. We need to have more like it built.
