T he bust of the housing bubble forced a q uick ,
dramatic sustained shift in the residential market,
increasing demand for downtown living .
“My daily walk to work gets my energy up for a great day.
I normally stop by Tipsy Teapot for a coffee or a quick bite
to eat for breakfast. If I need anything at all, I’m a stones
throw away from multiple businesses and restaurants.
It’s awesome to be able to go out, listen to live music
at Peasants, see a mariachi band at Chico’s, or attend
Freeboot Friday, and walk home!”
