Homestretch to Closing. Here’s where we are now. We’ve had the co-op board interview and are waiting to hear back about approval.

One of the cutest streets in the neighborhood, Willow Place, will be the location for this event this weekend. It’s called the Willowtown Spring Fair. The name alone is adorable and conjures images of sunny days and smiling children. We hope the weather holds up this Saturday May 17th from noon to 5pm. There will […]
