Northcrest in the News

Dwell 2005.09 Cover

Northcrest has recently found itself the subject of several news articles. You'll notice in these articles some common threads, mainly that the homes here are unique, that Northcrest has a high level of diversity, and that Northcrest is one of the few areas that still has that "neighborhood feel" that many of us remember from our childhood (or at least can imagine from old episodes of Leave it to Beaver).

Here's a collection of those news articles still available online (listed in reverse order by publication date):
