Not that you’ll be driving to many commitments when you live in Tobin Hill, this is no suburban environment. The district is experiencing a dynamic renaissance with restorations of historic buildings, a parade of new businesses, and the arrival of families to Park Place and elsewhere who are drawn to the urban lifestyle, less car-dependent travel, and community spirit. Located directly north of downtown, Tobin Hill is bordered by Monte Vista and Trinity University, exceptional institutions that feature the spectrum of cultural events from world dance company concerts to lectures and exciting intercollegiate sporting events. Three other college campuses reside within 15 minutes.

Of course, Park Place at Tobin Hill residents won’t have to wrestle for parking to attend the farmer’s market, gallery strolls, or dinner with friends. They’ll simply step out of their light-filled 1682 to 1812sq. foot home, past the gate, and into the community. No time to wait. Four of the homes are ready for summer arrivals with several more homes coming online this fall. Moving into the neighborhood and these uniquely built homes, the exterior speaks to earlier days with western-style facades and more than one dozen front-facing windows, is a perfect way to reopen our social and cultural calendars moving forward.
