Where Bungalows Cost More Than Mansions

๐ŸงญGenerally defined as the area: roughly between Sutherland Avenue to the north, Interstate 40 to the south, with Cherokee Boulevard forming the western edge and Alcoa Highway as the eastern boundary.

๐Ÿ“ŒWell known for: one of the area's most expensive, family-friendly communities with1920s-era, 1930s-era, and Mid-Century homes, tree lined streets, and actual sidewalks that people use.

๐Ÿ‘•You'll fit in if: you own a dog, wave at strangers, and are inordinately facinated by the historic 1923 Westmoreland Water Wheel and Gatepost.

๐Ÿ‘Locals live here because: you can walk to World's Fair Park in 15 minutes.

๐Ÿ‘ŽThe downside to Westmoreland is: I-40 noise and Sutherland traffic during rush hour.

โœจThe general vibe is: quiet residential with occasional college spillover.
