A walk in the neighborhood

I try to take exercise, and one of my favorite way to do so at the moment is to walk around our neighborhood (before it gets too hot, which it nearly did today with 25!). Even though we are in a high rise, the streets around us are full of gorgeous enormous posh houses set on beautiful tree-lined streets, and it all makes for very pleasant walks, whichever street you choose to take. There's even a pedestrian alley, about a mile long, where you can sit on benches under big oak trees. So grab your ipod and follow me... here are some images from this afternoon...



And to answer your questions (before you ask!), these houses average 700sq meters, and cost anywhere between 2 and 5 million... Let me know if you're interested!

Ouah, quel quartier! J'ai un faible pour les maisons anciennes avec la façade en brique.

J'aime le côté discret des façades et des jardins, à part un ou deux trop chargés à mon goût, les autres j'aime beaucoup!

Great tour! I think you drove us through part of this area when we visited. Shall look forward to a stroll through when we come next time, heat permitting!

Houlala !!! C'est drolement joli dans ton quartier !!! J'apprends les photos par coeur pour être sûre de ne pas me perdre quand je serais là bas ! Et si jamais je rencontre Bobby Ewing, je pourrai peut-être en acheter une et je te laisserai venir bronzer dans mon jardin ! ;-)
