Behind Closed Doors at Poplar Estates
POPLAR ESTATES RESIDENTS TELL ALL
What is going on in Poplar Estates? Well, we don't have any racy celeb bikini photos or a story about a shocking break-up that will shake Northern Liberties. We do have fresh interviews with condo owners at one of the neighborhood's hottest residences.
It is so common for Realtors to talk up their listings, the way that watercooler conversation can revolve around celebrity behavior. We talk about reality TV stars like we actually know them personally, but we don't.
So it is easy for Joe Realtor to say that a home is amazing and the neighborhood is fantastic. It is quite another when the residents speak highly of their home, themselves. We went straight to the source for Poplar Estates at 837 N. 2nd Street, and asked a couple of residents to tell us what it's really like to live there.

Your intelligence level is good but be careful when you are formulating your opinion about a home. Looks and unsupported advice can be deceiving so when determining an opinion make sure you are not misguided. Go back to basics.

Your intelligence is fair but there is a lot of room for growth if you could just cut that cord, make some fur-less friends, and avoid crystal balls!
18 points
Intelligence level is low. Possibly due to too much spray-on tan or hair gel "fur shur"! Dude, you may want to consider moving back to Cali. "Like" that would be "tubular"!
0 points
You are the cream of the crop, exhibiting an innate intelligence and powerful observation skills. You are officially ready to buy a fantastic home!
