Somewhere In Between

I think I just discovered a secret on my way home from work, and I don’t mean the free firewood I snagged curbside this afternoon.

As I cross the Kernwood Bridge from Rialside (I can’t for the life of me figure out if it’s “i” or “y” — it shows up both ways) into Salem, I pass the country club and cut between the golf course and the cemetery…and end up in a neighborhood that’s secluded, architecturally distinct, close to the water, and affordable! It’s tucked away, but convenient to both Salem and the highway (about 10 minutes from 128 at the morning rush) — you just have to see it.

Check out these houses to get an idea of the location — there’s a fair number on sale over there, and the prices look really low for the quality of the neighborhood. Graveyards are greenspace, and golf courses are too — you won’t find much that’s this open & green AND close to the action!
