Kuwol Place: A Hidden Residential Gem
Until recently, Kuwol’s Northeast quadrant laid bare. Separated by Kuwol Commons to the West, the area flanked by a tri-level clothing store owned by member Lace Hansome, and a massive stone and metal arch structure, remained unused.
Until recently, the area East of Kuwol Commons laid bare.
That all changed last month, when Chilbo community leader, Fleep Tuque, picked up several large parcels in the area that went on sale. She set about creating a new residential location to accommodate the rapid growth of the community, which, as she put it, “is bursting at the seams.” Nicknamed, Kuwol Place, half a dozen residential lofts were added into the mix, with one unit already rented out.

The success of this newly created residential area helped further the physical boundaries of the community, so much so that nearby Hudson Park owners used the same sidewalk textures when they redid their landscaping for the Spring. Kuwol land owner Riall Caproni, also agreed to place sidewalks on her property to help maintain the connection. Her agreement to add in sidewalks is a key element in the expansion, and made it possible to introduce direct pedestrian paths from Kuwol into Route 10 and Chilbo.

New Chilbo member Maddog Easterling, who moved into the area not long ago says, “This area is so nice at night.” Easterling who owns a parcel, nestled between the new rental units and the park, said of his garden view, “…it’s like I have extra landscape prims.”
