On one of those gorgeous sunny fall days, a few weeks ago, I decided to venture over to the Eliot neighborhood, specifically from NE Sacramento to NE Fremont and N Williams to NE Martin Luther King Blvd, quite a nice jaunt and many interesting houses to look at, both grand and ramshackle.
It's pretty obvious that this neighborhood has gone from opulent beginnings, to a slightly gritty existence in the 70's - 90's, and has come around and is being coveted again. Incredibly close-in, and alkable to trendy Williams District, and MLK, there are some astounding homes and commercial buildings, including the gorgeous Public Library building (now a book store for the Library), what is now the Wonder Ball Room, and some proud churches. There are also a few streets of low income housing projects from the late 70's. There are new high-end 'vintage styled' row houses being built, which attests to the renewed interest and value of the neighborhood.
Six months sold prices run from $260-440k. The houses are a mix of shot gun shacks, victorians, four squares, "old portland style", and bungalows.
