Newer Family-Home Streets
Working families, settled couples and a few retirees in newer houses they're still paying for, with full weeks and short evenings.
Who lives here
Read on the street, not on a spreadsheet.
These are detached houses on streets put in since 2000, and nearly all of them are owned, not rented.
The biggest groups living here are office and administrative workers, managers and sales workers, followed by teachers and accountants.
For a little room in the week.

What tends to backfire

A Saturday or Sunday morning seems like the obvious time, but it isn't open for everyone here. Tournaments, a second job or hours that move can fill it. Ask which times work instead of guessing, and spread your offers across different days.
On a street this busy, an evening that ends when you said it would is a gift people can actually accept.
