Nik’s Insider Tip

"If you're moving to Coates, look for homes on the **Inner Streets**—that’s where you’ll truly feel the small-town vibe. But here's the 'real realtor' secret: there is a poultry farm on the southern edge of the neighborhood. If you are sensitive to odors or have dietary lifestyle preferences, we should focus your search on the northern pockets near the pipeline trail. Also, if you’re planning on a basement apartment, look for the **40ft+ lots**; they offer better parking options than the 'staggered garage' models which can eat up your driveway space!"
