Our Take
This neighborhood has a solid income base and a great food scene, but it suffers from very low walkability, minimal public transit, and a high flood risk. It could work if you’re okay with a car and the added cost of flood insurance, but it’s not ideal for a commuter or someone wanting a quieter, safer environment.
