River Forest Building Boom Faces Postwar Surge
Forest Park building activity has rebounded with approximately 1800000 dollars in new construction and repairs since January. Most projects are underway or completed, with many new homes and bungalow styles along the Metropolitan tracks, including several brick and frame dwellings on M t and nearby avenues. Maestro outlines show permits issued in January through March totaling tens of thousands, and River Forest announces a major development push with three half blocks up for sale, projecting over 750000 in improvements and home values ranging from 28000 to 50000, signaling a prominent suburban growth wave.
