Brendan's take
- Many homes in the village are older, so I suggest a thorough inspection and a look at the permit history.
- Parking and driveway space vary a lot from street to street in the village, so it's worth checking for each home.
- Downtown is busiest on weekends; visit on a Saturday and a weekday to see both.
