About Clement Avenue Pocket
Clement Avenue is a short, quiet residential street south of East 7th, lined mostly with one-and-a-half-story bungalows on modest lots. Its scale is intimate compared to the district's wider avenues, and the block has a reputation among longtime residents for an active, informal social network of neighbors.
Renovation activity here has been steady rather than dramatic: additions tend to go up and back rather than out, preserving the original footprint visible from the street, consistent with the Historic District Commission's guidance for the area.
Its proximity to East 7th Street's small commercial cluster means residents can walk to a coffee shop or restaurant in a few minutes, one of the more walkable micro-pockets within the district.
What defines it
- Intimate, narrow residential block
- Strong informal neighbor network
- Short walk to East 7th Street businesses
- Additions typically built up and back to preserve street-facing form
