It's always interesting seeing vintage real estates promoting a new housing development, subdivision or allotment. They capture that moment in time when everything was brand new, full of promise and at the peak of perfection.
Many of these types of ads have been featured on this blog over the years, including several for Rock Creek Run, Skyline East, Skyline Park (here and here), Kimberly Oaks, the Hoy-Lo-Mae Allotment, the Sherwood Allotment; and Knickerbocker Knolls and Lake Breeze Estates in Sheffield Lake.
Well, since I live in Vermilion it's only natural that I post ads for some of its neighborhoods. Here's one for Valley View Estates, "Vermilion's Finest New Home Area." It ran in the Journal back on June 2, 1962.
It looks like there were some nice amenities, including Valley View Swim Club for all residents and Valley View School.
