Ammon Eaton'S Addition

Out here you're in the thick of Hastings proper, with Second Ward Park a quick stroll away and four parks within walking distance if you feel like mixing it up. The grocery is about a mile out, restaurants cluster nearby—a dozen spots within a mile means you're not hunting far for dinner, and coffee's a reasonable walk too. Twin Lakes sits just over a mile north if you want to hit the water for an afternoon. The airport runs about 39 minutes southwest, so it's close enough when you need it but far enough that the everyday rhythm stays local. Lots in the area tend to run generous, and you'll see a mix of ranch and bi-level homes, many recently refreshed with updated kitchens, new flooring, and the kind of basement work that tells you people are staying put and making improvements.
