Can I Take a Walking Tour of Yalecrest?

K.E.E.P. Yalecrest is a neighborhood nonprofit that works to keep Yalecrest's historic homes and streets. It has three free self-guided walking tour brochures you can download from its walking tours page, including one for Harvard and Yale Avenues. They were written a few years ago, but the streets are the same.

K.E.E.P. Yalecrest holds lectures and spring walking tours. Watch its events page for the dates.

Print the brochure or keep it open on your phone. Stay on the sidewalk and enjoy the homes from the street; these are people's homes. Fall and spring are the best seasons, when the trees are at their best and the sidewalks are clear.

I spent 18 years as a teacher, and a walking tour is still one of my favorite ways to learn a place. When you know why a street looks the way it does, you notice so much more. If you live in one of these homes, the brochures are also a nice way to learn what makes yours special. More about the neighborhood is on my Yalecrest page.
