Moving In or Out of Cole

Cole runs from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard north to 40th Avenue, and from Downing Street east to York Street, with Walnut Street cutting the northwest corner. It is one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, named for Carlos M. Cole, an early superintendent of the public schools. Half of its residential blocks were built by 1900 and the rest by 1930, so most streets are lined with Victorians, Queen Annes, bungalows, and foursquares, with newer townhomes and condos filling in between. Russell Square Park and St. Charles Park anchor the north end, and the 38th and Blake rail station sits on the western edge.

Moving in Cole is mostly about older houses. Many homes have alleys and detached garages out back, interior stairs that were built narrow, and basements reached by steep steps. Newer townhomes often stack living space over several floors. Our office on Pennsylvania Street is about two miles away, and we also move neighbors in Five Points and RiNo, Clayton, and Skyland.
