W. Philadelphia St. Houses

[DetroiterOnTheWestCoast]

I often surf through Detroit real estate listings; it’s an interesting way to get a sense of what’s going on in the city.

Today, seven listings for renovated houses on W. Philadelphia St. became active. They are all clustered together; in fact three are on adjoining lots and two others are next to each other just a few lots away [[on the 1400-1500 block); another is also on that block and one is on the next, 1600 block.

They listings say that they are part of the “Virginia Park Project.” That venture isn’t familiar to me. Is this part of the long delayed Herman Keifer redevelopment?

The houses were presumably built at the same time by the same builder as they are virtually identical, modest American Four Square homes with only differing façades.

One of the listings:

I notice that the lisitng says "short sale" which I assume is an error as none of the others say that.

I like the creative use of colors on the exteriors. I will try to post.

From one of the listings I can see that there are renovated homes across the street as well.
