Join a Community of Proud Downtown Dwellers & Share in Toledo’s Renewal Story.
The Texas Transportation Institute estimates that the average urban commuter wastes about 42 hours a year sitting in traffic. Essentially a full work week is spent waiting to get there or, worse yet, waiting to leave. But Toledo’s resurgence has led to a boom in residential development, meaning more people have more opportunities to leave their commute in the dust.
While shifting to life in an urban center benefits your commute, it’s about lifestyle, with an emphasis on the style. The architecture that made many of these buildings so iconic was preserved during their renovation, so downtown’s residences capture a truly historic aesthetic. With that feature exposed brick and beautiful views of the entire downtown area, you won’t be able to resist showing off to all your friends. When they’re done taking in the view, it’s time to take advantage of the nightlife, and you’ll be thankful that it’s just outside your door. Because when you’re at the heart of it all, you get to sit back, relax and wait for the action come to you.
