Our Take
This neighborhood has strong schools and a quick 16‑minute ride to downtown, but the cost of living is high relative to median income and crime can be a concern. It’s suitable for people who need proximity to downtown and value quality education, but it’s not ideal for families looking for low cost and quiet streets.
