Baxter Bros. Add No.1
Solid value in a growing area
Median $368K·Walkability 5.5/10·Schools 3.3/10
Platted in the early 1900s across 38 acres, Baxter Bros. Add No.1 sits squarely in Alger Heights, where lot sizes hover around a quarter acre—tight enough that you're genuinely a five-minute walk from a grocery or restaurant, but not so compressed that you're living on top of your neighbors. The subdivision's walkability splits the difference: dining and errands are reasonable, and a transit stop sits a two-minute walk away, which matters if you'd rather not drive the 11 minutes downtown.
