Mt. Washington Buyer Win - 1630 Bridgeport Dr - Congrats

Congratulations to Mack! He was searching on and off for over a year. Then it came - the one. It was a priority that his kids stay within the Mt. Washington Elementary zone. His kids are also growing. The home he remodeled down the hill while a great start, has become small for them.

1630 Bridgeport Dr. was languishing on the market. We all came to realize this house was a great value. At 2,817 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms this was a great upgrade at the right price compared to the rest of the Mt. Washington market. Built in 2019, it was also structurally sound house with not much deferred maintenance. To top it off, there’s a great, unobstructed view.

It’s always been a pleasure to work with Mack and his family over the years through several real estate transactions.

Bluegrass Holiday Fest and Food Drive 2025

The Bluegrass Holiday Fest and Food Drive (December 5, 2025) was a success! It was such a treat to see neighbors, clients and friends celebrating the holidays and good fellowship together. Many hugs were exchanged. It was truly a joyous time.

In addition, we raised $770 plus a good amount of food donations for CCAC - Central City Action Committee. We couldn’t have done it without the generosity of all involved. Thank you CCAC for the wonderful venue.

Thanks also to Andrea Hubert for putting the bluegrass band together - a mix of two really - Wild Rust and Burbank Bluegrass Jam. What a tremendous, happy sound! We also got to enjoy the singing of Andrea! Awesome!

We here at Urban Hillsides are so grateful for everyone coming together.
It made us so happy to see you all.

Wishing you all peace, health and happy moments together,

Darren and Joe
