Hello neighbors,
We will be moving from Highland Park this week with much sadness - we'll miss our friends, our park, our neighborhood. We will be moving out of state due to a job promotion.
Our house is on the market, and any reasonable offer will be considered - I believe the next open house is scheduled for the weekend after Easter:
