Aben Johnson'S Addition No. 1
Surrounded by nature
Median $257K·Walkability 5.4/10·Schools 6.5/10
Out here you're a few minutes on foot from groceries and a quick walk to Bob King Park, with a dozen-plus restaurants scattered within a mile—enough variety that you won't exhaust the options in a season. Brick homes and ranch styles dominate the streetscape, many updated in recent years with fresh kitchens, new HVAC systems, and main-floor laundry that actually works. The area sits close enough to Northeastern Elementary School that families mention walking distance without exaggeration, and downtown feels reachable by car without burning gas all afternoon. Twin Lakes lies about a mile and a half away if you want water access without committing to waterfront property. It's the kind of place where you get modest lot sizes, walkable errands on a good day, and room to entertain—not cramped, not sprawling, just deliberate.
