Neighborhood showcases vintage homes
LaSalle is conveniently situated just minutes from downtown, the St. Joseph River and the University of Notre Dame. It is known for being more budget friendly compared to the surrounding neighborhoods. The community's rich history dating back to the early 20th century, is a testament to the past. The wide tree-lined streets and sidewalks laid out in a grid pattern lead to vintage homes, some of which are in need of repair. Houses sit close to the street with small front yards. "This is a popular market for investors, and many of the homes have renters," says Maureen Mills, a Realtor with Cressy & Everett Real Estate, who has sold eight homes here. "We also have a lot of families."
Some of LaSalle's ranch homes feature enclosed front porches.
Ranch homes in LaSalle are often arranged into compact lots perpendicular to the streets.
