Hartsdel is a residential neighborhood south of SE 29th Street, toward the west side of Del City. It came along later than the original Epperly blocks. Some of the homes on Hartsdel Drive date to the early 1970s, when Del City was filling in toward its southern edge at SE 44th Street. The Hartsdel neighborhood watch meets at Sunnylane Family Church on SE 41st, which tells you a lot about where it sits and how settled it is.
For Hartsdel, SE 29th is the main road out. Bryant Avenue runs along the west edge of Del City, and taking it north to 29th, then heading east about a mile, puts you at our door in around five minutes. It is the kind of drive you can make without thinking about it, which is probably why so many of our quick trips come from this direction.
