Today’s walk was though a little neighborhood just off Winchester and surrounded by Winchester Road and New Circle Road.  I really expected an area of commercial property based on how this area appears from Winchester but was surprised to find that the entry street, Brown, quickly transitions to a residential street.

There are a mixture of housing styles and types, though frame houses dominate.  Like the Golfview neighborhood, these appear to be mostly mid-century.  Some of the original houses have evidently been torn down and lots combined, so some of these houses have some very neat, large yards.  In some cases, remnants of the original homes are still visible.  In general, it felt like residents here had an independent streak and value the fact that this neighborhood is hidden.  My favorite moment came when I realize the “ding..dong” sound I heard was triggered by me walking past the last house on a dead end street and past a door sensor (such as you might see on a convenience store) nailed to a tree trunk.

The good: Some great lots, lots of character, mystery

The bad: Mysterious but also perhaps not entirely on the level.
