If you’ve come down to the Cascades for a tour you may have had a similar experience to many of our buyers. You may have been stopped in the hall by one of our owners so they can tell you just how much they love living at the Cascades. You might have been on the elevator with an owner and their pet or had one of them hold the door for you, all the while they are sharing stories about the Cascades.

They truly are our best advocates and some of them have been kind enough to share their thought with us. Now you can read them right on our website. Check out our owner testimonials by clicking here!

We are excited to announce that we’ve received FHA financing approval for the Cascades! With FHA approval you can now finance with any lender who provides FHA loans.

This Saturday Ben Kaufman, of the Winooski Police Department, will ride his bike around the rotary in downtown Winooski to raise awareness and money to fight cancer. His goal is to ride 100 mile, a total of 575 laps around the rotary, to raise $10,000 for the LiveStrong Foundation.

You can support Officer Kaufman by making a donation at his website (click here) or by purchasing a yellow flag for $5 at a number of local Winooski businesses. You are encouraged to write a message on your flag which will fly in Circle Park during Ben’s ride.

Here about Kaufman’s challenge in his own words on WCAX, click here.

I just came across this really interesting article in the Bennington Banner about the history of Irish in Vermont. There is a bit about a man by the name of John Lonergan who opened a market in Winooski to cater to the textile workers.

Walking past the old Sneakers Bistro space yesterday it appeared there was activity in there. While we were peeking in the windows a woman who was passing by informed us that there was a new restaurant going in.

The name is to be Our House and it is going to be a BBQ restaurant. It will add some nice variety to Winooski’s downtown restaurant district! Can’t wait.

We’ll follow up with a review when they open.
