Locals + Culture

There are plenty of sweet neighborhoods in our city, but there’s one that has quite the hold on our hearts.

Not only does the 9th & 9th district boast some of our favorite places to eat and shop (Lola, Publik Kitchen and the Stockist, to name a few), but it’s also filled with unique homes - from well-loved bungalows to modern builds - and plenty of friendly, dog-walking folks. Familiar furry friends are a common sighting on Yale Avenue, which is a particularly special tree-lined street tucked away in the heart of this ‘hood.

Being a good neighbor is a prerequisite for living on Yale Ave:

this tight-knit community is a hard one to leave, which is why when my clients Jay and Karen decided to upgrade – we made sure to land them a home just a few streets away. And yet, when asked what they’ll miss most about their first home together, their answer was “the wonderful community of neighbors.” (Read more about what made this home so special, in their own words, from our Seller’s Full Disclosures.)

After just a few days on the market, Jay and Karen’s classic, stylish bungalow went under contract with buyers who equally value the charm of this home and street. We look forward to seeing the next chapter unfold for both buyer and seller, and to continue bringing great neighbors into their community.

This listing features original artwork and rugs from Loom & Kiln, which are available for purchase. Contact listing agent Kelly Carper for more details.

So, here's the thing about houses: they don't just take a village, they are the village. Who was the carpenter that cut the wood for the floors? Who was the artist that painted the art? Who framed it? The counter, what material is it? From what quarry did it come? Are the windows still the ones f...
