What Our Neighbors Are Saying About Historic Dundee

As the weather warms up and summer approaches, Historic Dundee transforms into a vibrant neighborhood that's ripe for exploration. With its eclectic mix of locally owned businesses, beautiful parks, and unique attractions, Dundee is the perfect place to spend your summer days and nights.

A Neighborhood that's Full of Life

One of the things that sets Dundee apart is its sense of community. Kelly says it best: "Dundee is friendly." It's not hard to find people who are willing to lend a helping hand or offer a smile and a wave. And it's not just the people who make Dundee special - the neighborhood's architecture and residents are also incredibly diverse. James puts it perfectly: "Dundee has diversity in both, architecture and residents. It's a unique blend that makes it stand out."

Natural Beauty

Dundee is home to some of the most beautiful natural scenery in the city. Resident, Eric Kaplan loves it here, and he says it's because of the neighborhood's great old homes, amazing big trees, and the best neighbors in the city! But it's not just the homes and trees that make Dundee special - the neighborhood's parks are also a major draw. In the summer, the sun sinks low in the sky, casting a warm glow over the neighborhood. And for those who love to play sports, there's no better place to be than Dundee Bank's basement field in the Sunks.

Local Shopping

Dundee is also home to a variety of unique shops that are worth exploring. From Exist Green's zero-waste essentials to Albany and Avers' vintage and preowned clothing, you'll find something that speaks to your individual style. And when you need a break from shopping, you can grab a cup of coffee from Dundee Double Shot or Blue Line. For a nightcap, head to Underwood Bar, Cork and Bottle, or Pageturners, which also features LGBTQ+ poetry and musical talent throughout the month.

Relax and Recharge

After a day of exploring, unwind with a visit to one of Dundee's many fitness studios, such as Barre3, One Tree Yoga, or The Studio Dundee. And when you need to take care of your health, you'll find a range of healthcare providers in the neighborhood, including All Smiles Dentistry, Dundee Pediatrics, and The Ascension Center and A+ Academy.

Unleash Your Creativity

Finally, be sure to visit Dreamland Art Studio, where you can unleash your inner artist and create something truly unique. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just looking for a fun activity to do with friends or family, Dreamland Art Studio is the perfect place to express yourself.

And now, we invite you to come spend a day exploring the sights and sounds of our beautiful neighborhood during Welcome Weekend! Kicking off on June 28th with the Memorial Park Concert and Fireworks Show, we'll be celebrating all that makes Dundee so special.
