Unfortunately the neighbourhood wasnt built in until 1972 when ground was broken for a new development on the eastern side of Ramona. Many new large single family homes, big apartment buildings, a large stripmall, a doctors office and a christian elementary school were built. this new suburban development attracted many white suburbanites into the neighbourhood. This was a turn around for Ramona and since then many new buildings were built in Ramona. | Unfortunately the neighbourhood wasnt built in until 1972 when ground was broken for a new development on the eastern side of Ramona.

Ramona is one of many older suburbs in Greenfield, therefore it's a historic neighborhood. Most of Ramona's residents are from Spanish and or Mexican decent. | Ramona is one of many older suburbs in Greenfield, therefore it's a historic neighborhood.

Most of the original houses are former workers houses so there are many foursquare-based and craftsman inspired homes. With it being from the early 1900s, there are also several victorian-styled houses with the most notable being the Sean Jeremiah Khrysler house. Due to it's Mexican background it makes Ramona very diverse district because there are a few Revival/Spanish styled houses in the area, though a lot of development and the neighbourhood has only half of it's former homes. And the original stores that once filled the avenue's are basically all gone. | |||
