Abundant Rockridge, Eclectic Temescal

New Listing Coming Soon!

Our Walkscore is 75. Did you know that walkability is one of the top-rated features that new homebuyers are looking for?

Walkability of a neighborhood rates higher than views, new kitchens, and access to freeways in the minds of many buyers. This trend, when whittled down to its essence is really about location. Where neighborhoods have their own Chocolaterie, locally owned coffee shops, unique restaurants, parks, and organic food markets, there are likely to be young families, decent schools and interesting people as neighbors.

In Rockridge and Temescal this culture has been carefully cultivated and nurtured. Ten years ago the landscape of 51st and Telegraph was unrecognizable as it looks today. It served as a thoroughfare to the highways 580, 24 and 80. The idea of stopping to enjoy a lemon bar and coffee on that corner would have been unheard of.

These two neighborhoods, once distinct, have merged to create a zone of vibrancy and abundance. The Sunday Farmer’s Market at 51st and Claremont at the DMV is thriving and offers seasonal, locally grown food, including a Bake Sale Betty’s bake stand. Artistically generous, the neighbors form alliances to create the ongoing community they want to live in!
