This week’s featured residence is located on a main street in the South Green neighborhood. This house is located in spitting distance of both Frog Hollow and Downtown.
The South Green neighborhood has only about 9.45% of its housing units occupied by their owners; one of the ways to fight blight is to increase owner occupancy. This building, at least from the front and the outside, looks to be in good shape. There are eight rental units in this building.
On the top floor you can see a person looking out the window. When I took this picture, the Three Kings Day Parade was happening directly in front of the building. This is a busy street in general, as it hosts many small businesses: auto repair and hardware stores, jewelers, cafés, furniture shops, a half dozen clothing stores, a dozen markets, over a dozen beauty salons and barber shops and about fifteen restaurants.
