The property is in a good area, It is adjacent to a multi-million dollar recreation center, run by the park district, It is also within a few miles of the largest employer in town.  

I don't think it was small claims, I think I went back to the same district court where the eviction was filed.

@Ned Carey, and @Dave Meadows - yeah avl has game. we saw pretty ridiculous appreciation in our neighborhood, like 30% over last 3 years. such little inventory as well. the influx of breweries and the long term development plan for the river corridor / river arts district is so promising. all we need is a surf / kayak wave (manmade whitewater feature) right in the middle of town, and we'll be on the next level!

Also, some of the public schools are picking up, so the families want to move into the district to avoid the private school prices we all love.
