The population of Ashburn Gresham has grown by leaps in bounds in the past ten years, so new construction and development has begun to take over the landscape. Vintage homes, such as bungalow, 2 and 3 flats, and apartments, still line the streets of this very residential community.

Ashburn was predominately Irish-Catholic but has diversified greatly in recent years. Many stoic churches make up the landscape of this industrial community. The neighborhood’s population boomed during the post WWII era, and many of those people who moved in still reside there today.
