Our Take
The neighborhood offers unbeatable walkability, great schools, and a vibrant downtown vibe that suits young professionals and remote workers. Rent is relatively high for the price, and the area can feel crowded with limited quiet spaces. It’s a solid choice if you want city life but be prepared for higher living costs.
