Construction Maison

By Katherine Shaver The Washington Post From the rooftop terrace of their new townhouse, Keisuke and Idalia Yabe take in their suburban Maryland neighborhood : a staid, 1970s- era office park of glass office buildings and concrete parking garages . The Yabes say they have found the advantages of urban living in a shorter commute and the ability to walk to shopping centers and a park. They also have what feels like the best of suburbia -- mature trees, plentiful parking , Bethesda's sought-after schools and a more affordable mortgage. From the Washington and New York suburbs to North Carolina's Research Triangle Park , traditional corporate campuses that have struggled since the Great Recession are trying to transform from sterile worksites into vibrant mini-towns. In addition to housing, they're adding restaurants, grocery stores, playgrounds and outdoor concert spaces -- anything to draw people in and make them want to stay. Although it might sound strange at first, th...

The city of Bellefontaine and a local contractor plan to partner to save a more than 100-year-old building from demolition. The old post office, at the corner of West Chillicothe Avenue and South Detroit Street , was built in 1913 and has been vacant and locked up for decades, Bellefontaine Mayor Ben Stahler said. The post office moved across the street to a different building in the ’60s, he said, and the historic property was last used as a Mexican restaurant during the early ’90s. RELATED: Historic downtown Springfield building could become apartments “Really we couldn’t find anybody in our community that was even willing to have this building for a dollar because of the known expense that they would have to put into the building to bring it up to speed,” he said. It was slated to be demolished, he said, until someone came forward. Local contractor , Ron Coleman, said he was interested in saving the building. “They said it was going to come down,” Coleman said. “I was like, “No...

Make sure you park in the right spots though or you'll quickly be towed. Susan Evans We toured here two years ago, but settled on Thalia Gardens instead because we couldn't decide between a nicer and large 1 bedroom with everything we need (w/d, dw) or a 2BD/2BA apartment. Now th … at our lease is almost up and we've decided we definitely need the 2BD/2BA, we wanted to tour again to refresh our memory. Our experience was NOT a good one. We did not receive a friendly greeting from the leasing consultant (not once did she mention her name so I couldn't even tell you which one she was other than she had brown hair, brown eyes, and was pregnant). ...

6 2100 Maryland Ave NE Washington, DC 20002 (202) 640-1364 As a property management professional myself, I must say that Fairway Park has the absolute BEST customer service I have ever experienced in all my years of searching for apartments! Lacy, Regina, and all of the office staff are always very helpful and friendly, and they really take the time to go above and beyond to make sure they meet your needs, from the time you lease your apartment, and while you are a resident at the community. The maintenance staff is also very efficient and quick to take care of any service requests that you may have. They are always very responsive and professional, provide you updates to your requests, and work hard to ensure that all of your issues are resolved in a very timely manner. I recommend Fairway Park Apartments to anyone who is looking for a beautiful and affordable community to live, and who are anticipating a smooth and easy application process . The apartments are finished with hard...

Real estate reality score (on a scale of one to five):  5   Netflix’s latest original film The Incredible Jessica James , starring   Daily Show veteran Jessica Williams, chronicles the breakup and subsequent dating life of a struggling playwright in New York City.  There are a lot of incredible things about the movie—including witty lines like, “I’d literally rather have my period for 1,000 years nonstop than continue this portion of the conversation”—but Jessica’s basic apartment is not one of them.  We first see it in the opening sequence as Jessica dances around, surrounded by brightly painted brick walls . The walk-up unit is exactly where you'd expect a marginally employed Ohio transplant to end up, from its dinged-up walls papered with rejection letters to its shabby closet doors .  The film's representation of Bushwick, with its graffiti and ever-present sirens, prompts a love interest to observe, "It’s delightful. When are they going to burn it down?” Still, the...
