Neighborhood Challenge

The Challenge

We have a wonderful neighborhood with lots of long time residents and now is the time to act to make sure it stays that way. Once neighborhoods get to a certain age they begin to sweeten or sour so now is a perfect time to actively improve it so that we age gracefully.

How to Improve?

First, we can stay in communication with each other via this blog, email, and neighborhood meetings. Secondly we can have neighborhood projects and potlucks.

Why Make an Effort?

Our homes are selling notably below the average for Pierce County ($220,000 vs $260,000) and we can change this one house sale at a time. This is a sure and steady way to increase everyone's net worth. Also, as we increase our property values we will be improving the quality of life in our neighborhood by getting to know our neighbors and physically improving the area.
