Score Breakdown
Our Take
The area boasts a high median income and top-rated schools, but the cost of living is steep and the neighborhood is highly car‑dependent. Walkability and transit options are limited, making it a challenging spot for anyone who relies on public transportation or prefers a quieter, walkable lifestyle.
