Roads branch off into the heart of downtown, where brick warehouses and converted factories define the skyline—a neighborhood that pulses with galleries, breweries, and live music venues within arm's reach. Six acres of closely-spaced lots sit surrounded by 432 restaurants within a mile, a coffee shop two minutes away, and transit stops at your doorstep. The nearest park is a three-minute walk; Riverwalk Trails Park anchors the edge of the area, and 27 parks sprawl within a mile.
