Who hasn’t heard of Dudgeon-Monroe Neighborhood? One of Madison’s most desirable, trendy, and hip places to live is an understatement. The Monroe Street corridor is scaled to pedestrians with neighborhood shops (coffee, ice cream, ethnic dining) in historic storefronts. A fine art center, galleries, and neighborhood jazz fest (Jazz in the Park) are venues for the artsy folks. Cozy, two-story homes with front porches line the quiet residential streets. Downtown Madison, University of Wisconsin, and the hospitals are within a 1-2 mile radius of the neighborhood making it an ideal location to live for academic staff and students to families with young families to young professionals.  An afternoon boating on Lake Wingra, walking along the paths in the University of Wisconsin-Arboretum, rollerblading on the Southwest Bike Path, or eating garlic mustard dishes at the Annual Weed Feed are only a few features that make this older neighborhood a fun place to live.

Congratulations to Sara Alvarado, President of Alvarado Real Estate Group, for her recent accomplishment of making it into the 2013 Class of 40 Under 40: Dane County’s Most Promising Leaders.

“For 13 years, In Business has celebrated the successes of rising business stars in our annual 40 Under 40 issue, and each year we have marveled at the vast richness and diversity of the young candidates. The competition is stiff. Not only are we looking for examples of business success and moxie, but also for people who demonstrate a firm commitment to the local community through board involvement, volunteerism, or other activities.”

“It is a huge honor for me to be part of this group of young leaders, and I like to emphasize the word young! My parents raised me to always be looking at the whole picture. I have never had my work life, personal life, volunteer life in separate compartments. My life is my life and when I feel strongly about something and feel the need to get involved, I jump in. Luckily with the real estate business my husband and I have created, we have figured out how to make it possible to be very involved in our community through the passions, time and resources we can give. It is how our family chooses to live. To be honored by the In Business community for not only leading in business but also in our commitment to our community feels wonderful. I hope it encourages all business professionals to look closely at where they can give back in a meaningful way. Because giving is really a huge dose of receiving.”

The hardest decision might be whether to walk or to bike to all the great places nearby: Monroe shops, Regent St Market, Trader Joe’s, bike path, stadium, parks, Lake Wingra, schools! Great layout features two bedrooms on main floor, two upstairs (w/half bath). Remodeled kitchen: quartz counter tops, maple cabinets, stainless appliances, Kohler fixtures. Remodeled bathroom w/tile surround. Newly installed gas fireplace. Extra bonus: 2 car garage & great potential in lower level. Appraised last year @ $320k.
