A quiet residential pocket home to a supportive community
In the late 1800s, Ashburn was the ash-dumping site for the city’s coal-fired furnaces, which explains how it got its name. However, following slow growth at the turn of the century, the community is now a clean and close-knit community known for sharing a keen sense of inclusion and support. “It’s one of those pockets where it's very peaceful,” says Nakie Zakutu, a resident and owner of Luna Dreams Company. “It’s a lot of friendly, hardworking people that support the neighborhood’s small businesses.”
