About College Commons

Local Window Treatment Experience in College Commons

College Commons is an association area on the north side of Nora, bounded by 96th Street on the north, 91st Street on the south, College Avenue on the east and Pennsylvania Street on the west. The College Commons Neighborhood Association registered in 1997, and the area counts among Nora's recognized subdivisions. The houses inside those lines are mixed, from 1950s cottages on Central Avenue and 1956 houses on Washington Boulevard to 1972 brick houses on North College Avenue and 1989 infill houses on Warwick Road. Many of the lots carry the Northampton plat name, and sizes run from about 900 to 1,700 square feet, so the area reads as a mix of small postwar houses and later infill.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">A window treatment plan in College Commons starts with your own rooms. We'll use the housing details here as background, then check the openings and ask how you use the space. Your in home design consultation is free. We'll look at your openings and talk through the rooms you're planning to cover.

We offer repairs only on treatments The Window Valet installed or has serviced before. If we haven't worked on your treatments, we'll book a consultation for new ones. We have served College Commons homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Nora crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.

The Housing Here

Housing and window planning in College Commons

College Commons houses run from about 900 to 1,700 square feet. The 1950 cottages on Central Avenue are the smallest, around 900 square feet on lots of about 6,800 square feet, and the 1989 houses on Warwick Road are brick with vinyl siding on lots near 7,150 square feet. The 1956 houses on Washington Boulevard and the 1972 brick houses on North College Avenue sit on larger lots, at 0.44 and 0.56 acre. Some of the College Avenue parcels were never platted at all and carry metes and bounds descriptions, which fits an area that filled in one house at a time.

The neighborhood's housing gives us a starting point for the visit. We'll still measure your house individually, including any openings that have changed during an update. If you're replacing windows as part of the project, let us know before the treatments are ordered so the plan can use the finished frames.

What It Means For Your Windows

What to check at the windows in College Commons

Some Washington Boulevard houses have a full wall of windows that fills the space with natural light, and a wall of glass that wide usually takes a wide shade or traversing drapery sized to the whole opening. Newer double pane vinyl windows are common in the Central Avenue cottages. Vinyl replacement frames can sit at a different depth than the original openings, so the crew checks depth before choosing an inside or outside mount. Houses built from 1950 to 1989 also mean that window sizes and trim vary from one address to the next, and each opening gets its own measurement.

We'll look at the way light enters your College Commons rooms and check how the windows operate. The treatment needs to suit the opening when it's lowered and when it's raised. That includes the space for the hardware and the access you'll need to use the window.

Treat the view wall as a connected group

We'll look across the full wall of glass and measure each opening separately. Matching the visual line matters, and each treatment still needs room to move without hitting the next one.

Check the mounting depth

We'll measure the usable space inside each frame before recommending an inside mount. If the headrail would project too far, we'll discuss an outside mount and show where it would sit.

Choose privacy for the room

We'll ask what the room needs after dark as well as during the day. A sample held against the actual glass gives you a better starting point than choosing from a small picture.

Leave space for the raised treatment

We'll check where the fabric or slats sit when the treatment is raised. That matters when you want to keep the top of the glass clear or when the opening has little room above it.

What We Specify Here

Products to compare for your College Commons home

These are options to discuss during your College Commons consultation. We'll narrow the choice after seeing the glass and learning which rooms you're working on. You can review a coordinated plan for the house or start with the rooms that need attention first.

Solar shades for a view wall

Solar fabric is worth comparing when glare makes a view wall difficult to use. We'll review nighttime privacy as part of that choice because a daytime view doesn't tell you how the room looks after dark.

Roller shades for everyday light control

A roller shade is an option to compare when you'd like the treatment to roll out of the way. We'll review the fabric in the room and discuss how much privacy you need at night.

Cellular shades for room by room coverage

A cellular shade is worth comparing where you'd like a compact treatment at the window. We'll look at the opening and discuss how much daylight you want when it's lowered.

Drapery where there's room to stack

Drapery can be considered where you'd like fabric to frame the opening. We'll check the wall beside the window so you can see how much room the panels would occupy when open.
