In Thornton Heights, when I am in my yard, I have a front-row seat to the neighborhood.

All the houses are close together and everyone is out on the street—working in their gardens, walking their dogs, heading to the school playground. And the people are the heartbeat of the neighborhood. When we see a need to fill, we fill it. We’re not closed-off from each other. We’re a hands-on neighborhood, and I like that.
