DOUG & KATE LINS

“We live in the Southwest Historic District of Troy in a house that was built in 1856. We love Troy because everything we want to do is so accessible and close at hand. We also have a very active neighborhood. We have a neighborhood dinner club, we plan social events, and it’s a safe and friendly area. Our neighbors watch out for us and we do the same for them.”

WADE WESTFALL

DOWNTOWN LIVING IN STYLE

Wade Westfall, owner of Four Sons Development, has been bringing old buildings back to life in downtown Troy for more than three decades. He’s busier than ever these days with a hot market for downtown residential spaces like the townhomes at 301-305 W. Water Street, one of his recent projects. It’s a market that shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, as an empty nester, he became a downtown resident himself just a few years ago.

“Troy has an active and attractive downtown. We like the walkable lifestyle to shops, restaurants, concerts and our wonderful park system. I enjoy being part of a community that has the leadership, vision and desire to always make things better. Troy offers a quality of life that is rare to find.”
