A Closer Look at: LIVING in Downtown Johnson City

Life in downtown Johnson City has gotten interesting!

Within the last 10 years, unique housing has appeared in downtown Johnson City. Mixed-use buildings - such as renovated upper floors in retail buildings and a remodeled bank tower - offer atmosphere and quality unlike any other kind of living space. Lofts, interior brick walls, restored murals, remodeled bank vaults and a variety of other charming features mean your home is a place worth talking about - and the convenience and community you will experience are unbeatable.

Downtown residents say some of the best things about living downtown are:

* one-of-a-kind shops, restaurants, cafes, galleries and entertainment venues within easy walking distance. (And, for some, an easy commute to a downtown office for work each day!)
* educational support in the form of the Johnson City Public Library and close proximity of the college, primary and secondary schools and the Johnson City School Board office.
* annual festivals further enhance the cultural environment created by the presence of theatres, galleries, music venues, a museum and the library.
* easy access to the interstate and major roads.
* safety with neighborhood watch and police patrol programs.
* a sense of community that comes from seeing your neighbors regularly on the streets and in local businesses.
* activity in organizations dedicated to making downtown a great place to live, work and play, such as the Downtown Action Coalition, Friends of Olde Downtowne and the Johnson City Development Authority.
