Fifth by Northwest's homes and condos

Fifth by Northwest comprises three streets that run east to west, with remaining streets that run perpendicular. Break off from these roads are grid-like residential streets. Most of these are home to neat sidewalks, with shaded spots underneath the mature sycamore trees that line the community’s front yards. Spaced 10 feet apart from one another are Craftsman and Cape Cod-style homes, which tend to be adorned with shrubbery and minimal landscaping. Construction dates go as far back as the early 1900s and have continued up to today, with the addition of new condominiums and apartment complexes in the area. Those looking to purchase a home in the neighborhood can expect a range from $255,000 for a two-bedroom condo to $700,000 for a four-bedroom, three-story house.

Walk to Grandview Avenue

“Grandview Avenue is the main hub of the area,” explains Terrelle. It is home to several local restaurants and businesses, close enough for many residents to walk to. Lunch can be had at Mazah Mediterranean Eatery, a casual family-run restaurant known for its baba ghanoush, before heading next door to Grandview Mercantile Revue, a hip consignment shop where people go to see unique furniture, antiques and artwork. Artistic pieces can also be appreciated at Fortin Ironworks, a community staple for over 75 years, before heading to Z Cucina di Spirito for happy hour. The modern Italian restaurant serves upscale drinks and seasonal menu items. Those looking to grocery shop can head to the Market District Grocery Store and retail at Lennox Town Center, less than a mile from the community and home to a Target, Old Navy, and more.
