District boundaries are roughly: Virginia Avenue to Coronado Road, 8th Street to 14th Street Both of us chose Coronado as our home so we are, admittedly, prejudiced about what a fabulous place it is. Home to 1920s Bungalows and 1940s Ranches, one of the larger city parks (Coronado Park at 12th Street & Palm Lane), and one of the most competitive and highly recognized high school programs in the metro area (the International Baccalaureate program at North High School), Coronado is a diverse place. The Coronado Historic District covers a bit more than a half square mile. The homes on the edges of the official District are no less sweet and desirable, however, which expands greater Coronado to about one square mile. Generally speaking, Coronado is known for smaller homes, usually (but certainly not always) with two bedrooms and one bath. Sometimes as small as 700 square feet, the average bungalow still has a small footprint averaging about 1000 square feet. Sustainable living at its best! The wide porches, possibly the first thing you’ll notice, add shady outdoor space for family, friends and neighbors to gather and may be one reason why everyone in Coronado seems to know each other. Ample backyards provide private space and lend to the diversity of the place too—possibly home to a permaculture garden, or perhaps a guest house, a flock of chickens, or a state-of-the-art addition that quietly hides behind a traditional Territorial in front. There is often more to Coronado than meets the eye.
