Editorial direction
The tone should feel established, local, and useful.
Old North content should avoid generic real estate fluff. The best angle is specific, calm, and street-aware: what changes at the next cross-street, where the older-home premium is justified, and where reputation can hide a more nuanced block.
Short local observations can point people to a deeper article without making the postcard feel like a hard sell.
Heritage serif type, restrained green, brick, and warm paper tones fit the older-tree, older-home feel without looking antique.
The homepage is a simple hub: clear identity, a strong lead article, and a grid of local posts people can scan quickly.
