russian village district

There is not a whole lot to this place. It's just a block or so of stone houses. But the houses are really cool and each one is unique. I would have bought one in a heartbeat if any had been on the market when I was looking. The area is definitely worth driving though if you are driving around Claremont trying to get the lay of the land.

History has it that this was built by a man that immigrated from Russia I believe. He took old chunks of cement and fashioned wonderful homes from them in a whimsical, rustic nature. It is on a narrow part of Mills Avenue and you might be able to park before or after them and walk to see the outside of these private homes. You drive through them but might get out of the car to view them better!
