Rows of raggedy houses on Barnes Avenue are being replaced by 16 new condos and 32 single-family bungalows in the newly named Eastway Village, Realtor Jewel Monroe said.It'll be a mixed-income community, she said.
And the new neighbors will be homeowners -- not renters, but homeowners whose vested interest in the place may have them weeding and tinkering around their yards like Casper.
At 70, she could outwork those half her age.Not that she expects the new neighbors -- two homebuyers are expected to close on mortgages in May -- to spend long spells in the yard like her.Ideally, the newcomers wouldn't have the kind of time she has as a senior, because they'll be working and, hopefully, raising families.
