Flat blocks of residential land radiating south from Wealthy Street, where brick storefronts and the marquee of the historic Wealthy Theatre anchor a neighborhood that's been here for generations. The lots are modest—a tenth of an acre each—and the homes run the architectural gamut: Craftsman bungalows, Queen Annes, American Foursquares built when the city was younger. Downtown rises just five minutes north; the airport another twenty. This pocket of Baxter sits close enough to everything that you don't feel stranded, but removed enough that the streets hold their own quiet rhythm.
