In the past 15 years, Cannonborough and Elliotborough have experienced significant gentrification. Old homes have been spruced up and new homes have been built, though there are still many handyman specials available for those with a keen eye. Homes here range from $700,000 for a fixer upper to $1,500,000 for a large renovated home, or $2,500,000 and up for a legally permitted short-term rental on Spring or Cannon. Newer construction homes in the Morris Square and Midtown developments start at around $800,000. Bogard Street is popular with college students and young families. There are also multiple great community gardens tucked in among these streets. The heart of this area, Spring Street and Cannon Street, is considered “Midtown” and numerous stores and restaurants line the blocks. Fuel is on the west end and places like The Grocery are on the east.
