Our Take
Douglass offers decent public transit, solid schools and a strong sense of community, but it falls short on walkability and has higher crime levels. Prices are rising, so first‑time buyers may find value if they’re willing to accept the trade‑offs. It’s a solid choice for those who prioritize proximity to downtown and school quality over a car‑free lifestyle.
