NoDa Fences
Fences for NoDa's mill houses, townhomes and infill, from dog yards to creative modern screens.
NoDa mixes small mill houses, new townhomes and infill on compact lots near North Davidson Street and the Lynx Blue Line. Owners usually want privacy from busy sidewalks and taller neighbors, secure dog yards, and modern or colorful designs. Small lots mean every foot of fence and gate placement counts.
The neighborhood
