Our Take
The neighborhood offers a walk‑first lifestyle, great transit, and excellent schools, but the price tag is high relative to the median income. Living costs will feel tight, and you’ll need to budget carefully for taxes and utilities. It’s a good fit for young professionals who value convenience over quiet, but not for families or retirees on a fixed budget.
