J. L. Schroeder Optimistic Over Realtv Outlook j Business Declared Equal to That of Banner Year; Homes Selling Rapidly. In commenting on the demand for real estate, Jess L,. Schroeder, secre tary of Schroeder Investment com pany, realtors, states that this con cern has had an almost continued demand for new dwelling and small investments this spring. "Of course, we are constantly sell ing older properties as well as new, and anything that has the earmarks of being a snap Is quickly sold, , Schroeder said. “We believe that the general quality and construction of the new homes now being offered measure up to a higher standard than for several years past, "Realtors and contractors have found through experience that better construction and the better finished homes find a quicker market, with a good down payment. In fact, many of the sales in our office have been bringing cash for the builder's equity, although most people have an aver age of about 20 per cent of the pur chase price to pay down. "Buyers are quick to see value, and after having inspected a number of properties during their search for a home, are able, by comparison, to Judge building construction. “We figured last year as being a banner year,” concluded Mr. Schroe der, "but our business this spring is running right up to last year’s fig ures," MAYART FLATS ARE SOLD FOR $51,000 Carl Swanson of the Jerpe Commis sion company last week purchased the Mayart apartment house at 116 South Thirty-third street for $51,000.

Twinridge, Omaha'* newest resi dence addition, adjoining the Field club on the west, will be placed on the market this month by H. A. Wolf company. High and sightly, this tract of 201 lots extends from Forty-second to Forty-fifth streets, and from Wool worth avenue to Center street, a scant two miles from the heart of the city. Sunken gardens similar to Verpy Hollow club In Dundee are piar.ned for the valley between the two ridges from which the addition gets Its name. Th“ lots are larger than usual, measuring BO feet or more In width. No mere business venture Is the coming lot sale. Instead, It savors of romance. The romance of con verting cornfields Into sites for the latest, most modernly-equipped homes that are really homes. Here, almost within walking dis tance, Is a vista that will prove allur ing to city workers. Wide stretches Of blue sky, beautiful sunsets and fresh, clean breezes promise to make a strong appeal to prospective lot purchasers. AD Improvements. All Improvements are In process of Installation now. Grading Is already completed, streets are marked, and sidewalks, gas, w'ater and sewer work Is now being done. Ornamental lights will be shortly Installed and paving laid before the end of the summer. Ground for the first home In Twin ridge was broken last ileek, although the date for the formal lot sale to open has not yet been announced. This house will be Moorleh In style, in architectural design of distinction. Harry A. Wolf, president of the H. A. Wolf company, has confidence In the value of Twinridge lots, and all propsrty In the southwest part of the city. “It Is dose In, and the only di rection in which the city has not yet expanded,” he emphasize*. "Resi dence additions have been plotted as for north and west as the city can comfortably expand with present transportation facilities; the river and South Omaha encroach on the other two sides, so that the south west Is the only logical direction for t*»e prospective home owner to seek i n ideal site." Adjoins Standard Place. Twinridge adjoins Standard place, the H. A. Wolf company addition which established a record for speedy building. Placed on the market In June, 1922, a scant two years ago, there are now 120 homes built, oc cupied and In process of construction. "To drive from Forty-fifth to Forty eighth streets and from Pacific street to Woolworth avenue today, no one would believe it was so recently a jornfleld,” said Wolf. Morton Meadows, placed on the market last year, also adjoins Twin ridge. Twinridge boulevard, which ' traverses the new addition, will un doubtedly prove the most popular connecting link for automobile drlv lng between downtown and the Center road, lending to the Ak-Sar Ben fields and to Center street, one of Omaha's main thoroughfares. City park officials have already planted trees lining the boulevard and sunken gardens and other efforts to beautify thd landscape will be under taken as soon as Improvements are laid.
