In Point Breeze

The affordable housing homeownership development on the 1700 block of Federal Street, which we've told you about in the past, is nearing the finish line. Built by Community Ventures and funded with NSP2 dollars, these homes, like many affordable housing developments started in this neighborhood in the past year, look

A reader checked in, noting that two homes were demoed last week on the 1500 block of Woodstock St., in Point Breeze. South of Dickinson, between 20th and 21st Sts., this little block has some homes that have clearly been tastefully redone in recent years.

We were passing through the neighborhood today, dodging cement mixers and pickup trucks, and spotted two new homes going up at 1712 and 1714 Manton St., in Point Breeze. These two homes will make it six new construction homes in a row on this block (not counting the still-vacant lot

Readers have tipped us off about more construction in Point Breeze, all within earshot of the American Sardine Bar. You may recall a few weeks ago, we pointed out a couple of homes under construction directly across the street from the bar, and speculated that this new business could spark

Back in February, OCF Holdings presented two projects to the ZBA which garnered both significant support and opposition. First, the developer presented a mixed-use development at the corner of Point Breeze & Titan, with thirteen residential units and a pharmacy on the first floor. After three hours of discussion, they

Driving up 20th Street yesterday, we noticed a new home going up at 1946 Titan St., right on the corner. Looming quite large from the south, we were surprised to find that the home is apparently being built by right, as the owners have appeared for no variances for the
