Fircrest

An idyllic, picturesque middle-class urban suburb. A legacy of 1950's and 1960's homes with Mid century modern architecture. Aesthetically and gracefully designed streets, walkways and parks. A neighborhood culture that cherishes academia and nestled in the heart of University Place.

"People in small towns, much more than in cities, share a destiny." Richard Russo
