FQ Story Historic District

F.Q. Story is roughly bounded by Roosevelt to the south, 7^th Ave. to the east, McDowell  to the north and 17^th Ave. to the west. This neighborhood dates to the late 1920s when it was marketed as a streetcar suburb close to the Grand Ave. and Kenilworth lines; hence, homes were laid out on deep, narrow lots to cut walking distance to the streetcar lines. The western most areas of the neighborhood feature detached garages. Mostly built during the “revival” era of the 30s, this neighborhood features Spanish Colonial Revival, English Tudor Revival, English Cottage Revival, Norman Cottage Revival, Mediterranean Revival, Pueblo Revival, Mission Revival, Neoclassical Revival, Colonial Revival and Art Moderne. Craftsman bungalows and transitional ranches also dot the neighborhood. This was the fastest appreciating neighborhood in 2005;typical prices range between $530K and $640K. Although few and far between, this is an excellent time to find an affordable 2 bed/1ba house in the low to mid- $200s.
