Good news for the west side of the Highland neighborhood. Two historic properties are being redeveloped for residential use: the amazing International Style Fairfield Building, and a few blocks south century-old Barrett Elementary.

Sidewalks in Highland are being renovated. Yeah!
This will help improve that on many blocks of streets across the heart of Highland. It is a walkable neighborhood.

A nationwide Realtors survey reveals that a majority of Americans prefer a walkable neighborhood, and they are willing to pay for it. That tracks with higher values in highly walkable neighborhoods.

Here is an example of how construction/repair crews contribute to blight in our neighborhoods. These traffic cones were left behind after work in the area was finished. One could say they were at least artfully placed at this location.
