Our Take
This neighborhood is close to downtown and has decent schools, but the cost of buying or renting is high relative to income. Walkability and transit options are poor, so you’ll rely on a car. If you can afford it and don’t need a walk‑friendly area, it might work, otherwise look elsewhere.
