Fillmore-Leroy has a modern take on ‘Sears’ homes
Fillmore-Leroy is mainly made up of doubles built between 1900 and 1920 and features Cape Cod and Colonial Revival-inspired architecture like pitched roofs, dormer windows and covered porches. “These are what we call ‘Sears catalog homes,’ because this was an old working-class neighborhood,” says Ayat Nieves, a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Keller Williams Realty. “People used to order their houses right from the Sears catalog. They’d ship you all the materials and you’d get an instant house.” While the shapes of homes are similar, it is unlikely that anyone in the neighborhood will get confused since no two homes are painted the same colors. Neighbors also distinguish their homes by planting gardens in their front yards and alongside the sidewalks. Most properties in Fillmore-Leroy sell for under $200,000. “You can get a great house for $ 100,000 or $200,000. People are looking for affordable housing, and that’s what this neighborhood provides,” Nieves says.
A lot of homes in Fillmore-Leroy feature porches and bay windows.
