The objective of this award is to inspire pride in Polk Place Neighborhood. A well-cared for neighborhood draws buyers’ and visitors’ attention, and drives up house prices. Care of our properties is an important price determinant when selling a home. According to a study by Clemson University and the University of Michigan, consumers value a landscaped home up to 11.3% higher than its base price, as reported in Smart Money magazine.
Come on y’all . Put on your gloves and take up the challenge.
