About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an exhausted delivery driver approached Boardwalk Properties with a truckload of furniture, he swore he heard laughter echoing from inside the empty office building. The sound was soft but distinctly human—like someone giggling in an empty room. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only shadows dancing across the walls. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, are you here to buy or sell?’ Turned out it was just a neighbor testing the new security system. Everyone had a good laugh, and the driver went on his way, never again delivering furniture after dark.

2. Late one morning, while a realtor was showing a house at Boardwalk Properties, she noticed something peculiar in the garden. A small bird kept flying towards a particular spot and then suddenly disappeared into thin air. Curious, she followed the bird’s path and found an old wooden box half-buried in the ground. Inside were dozens of tiny letters spelling out ‘Free parking for life!’ Turns out, it was an elaborate prank from a local delivery driver who’d parked illegally there many times. The realtor laughed it off, thinking it added character to the place.

3. Late one afternoon, while a young realtor was showing a house at Boardwalk Properties, she noticed something peculiar: her client's small dog kept staring intently at the wall, sniffing and whimpering. Curious, she followed its gaze only to see a faint shadow of a long-gone boardwalk game parlor flickering in the old wallpaper. The realtor smiled, realizing it was just an old advertisement for ‘Lucky Ducks’—an arcade game from the 80s. The dog finally stopped whining when another neighbor popped his head around the corner, asking if they needed help with moving boxes. Turned out, everyone had been so absorbed that they’d forgotten what they were doing there.

4. Late one afternoon, while a young realtor was showing a house at Boardwalk Properties, she noticed an odd message scrawled on the bathroom mirror in lipstick: ‘The perfect place for your dream home … but don’t forget to bring your own furniture!’ Curious, she decided to ignore it and show the rest of the house. Later that evening, when she went home, her own apartment was filled with mismatched sofas, tables, and chairs delivered anonymously. When asked who might have done it, everyone just shrugged and said, ‘Probably some bored neighbors.’
