3rd Quarter 2019 Olde Town Market Update
There are a lot of good things happening in Olde Town! I had the privilege of turning over the role of President of the Olde Town Neighborhood Association to Bob Trescott, who’s been serving as Vice President. As the father of five and brand new twins, I needed to trim my commitments, but I was encouraged to see lots of new and excited people with fire and energy to move the neighborhood forward!
As far as real estate goes, many homes are under renovation and we’ve seen some notable sales driving up the prices. The Renaissance Apartments at Third and Broad were foreclosed on by HUD last week, and likely will be sold as market-rate apartments in the next few months–that will be great for the neighborhood. We’ve definitely seen the prices rising–in 2016 and 2017 the average price per foot was (38) per square foot, and in 2019 so far it is (72) per square foot! We are definitely seeing Gentrification is coming to the neighborhood. Also Olde Town Apartments is continuing to renovate and lease units.
