FIELD WIDENS
IN SOUTHWEST
GROWS BEYOND AGRICULTURAL
PARK
MANCHESTER HEIGHTS DISTRICT
ARRESTS ATTENTION
Popular Tract, Now Three-fourths
Sold, Placed on Market One Year
Ago, Attracts Home
Builders

The development, growth and prog
ress of the southwestern part of the
city finds an excellent example in Man
chester Heights tract, at Manchester
and Vermont avenues. The tract was
opened over a year ago by the Grider-
Hamilton-Oswald company, and is now
more than three -fourths sold out
One thing that has given a decided
| impetus to real estate prospects and
property is the certainty that Agricul-
tural park will soon be improved and
developed as q great public center. A
large sum Cfrom $6250,000 to $500 will
soon be spent on this property, and 1t
goes without saying that surrounding
and nearby property will increase in
value on this score alone, without taxi
ing into consideration the rapid growth
of the section and its popularity with
home builders.
Then, too, the consolidation of San
Pedro and Wilmington with Los Ange-
les, the contiguity of the shoestring
strip, and last, but perhaps not least,
President Tafts really enthusiastic in
dorsement of san Pedro harbor and the
plans for its development, have all en-
phasized the interest of home builders
and investors in tine southwest.
Vermont avenue, the eastern border
of Manchester Heights, is we'll known
as the longest street in Los Angeles,
and will no doubt become the boulevard
from the mountains and Hollywood to
San Pedro.
Two Electric Roads
Two electric roads pass Immediately
by Manchester Heights, namely, the
Redondo electric, via Sunnyside, and
the San Pedro Interurban electric, Civ
ing the tract ample electric railway SER
vice with frequent cars.
The soil Of Manchester Heights is
rich, and the tract is we'll improved. It
has had much attention on the part of
home building investors and already
about forty families are settled in the
tract.
Manchester Heights is exceptionally
favored in its educational facilities. 4
large graded public school with 200 pu-
pills is only two blocks away, while the
Dominican sisters have a fiourishing
parochial school, where English and
German are both taught to some eighty
pupils.
There is a new German Catholic
church on the tract, of which the Rev.
Joseph Kaiser is pastor, holding SER
vices in both German and English. The
church will soon be dedicated, and al
ready has an attendance of about 500
persons.
Manchester Heights is typical of the
growth of the southwest, in the form of
flourishing little communities, centered
at some favorable spot, and having
schools and churches as nucleus for
community growth. There are many
who prefer to invest and to make their
homes in such tract rather than take
chances on spasmodic growth through
casual additions.
