Find old buildings hosting new businesses, apartments and condos where a peek out the window you see tree lined streets, community events, festivals and a variety pubs, restaurants, shops and more. Cyclists can find easy parking for their bikes with the newly installed creative twist on bike racks and a stroll down the street is brightened by new LED street lamps that give a stunning glow to the many murals featured. Yep The Grove is pretty cool and changing every year with new additions and growth.
