West Main Hill rises just west of downtown next to Kalamazoo College, a neighborhood of substantial early-1900s homes on a hillside street grid. It is one of the higher-valued parts of the city, but the houses are large and old, and heating, wiring and roof work on a home this size is expensive. Owners settling an estate here often prefer one certain cash number to a renovation project followed by a listing.
