If you’re anything like me, you love a good home makeover. About a month ago, my husband and I went to a couple of open houses in our neighborhood. We are not on the market to buy right now, but were curious about what our options were in terms of housing. Historic Urbana has a great school district, it’s walking distance from shops, cafés, restaurants and it’s right across campus.
Known as the “faculty ghetto”, the houses are older than the majority of buildings in the area and are architecturally charming, inside and out. The brick-paved streets are lined with old trees that look particularly beautiful in the spring and summer months. In the fall, the foliage turns yellow, and brown and ruby red, and it’s just the prettiest thing to see. View Post
