Bur-Mar Estates No. 1
Strong schools draw families here
Walkability 1.6/10·Schools 6.5/10
—and that's the thing about this stretch: you're literally minutes from downtown but tucked on quiet streets with actual land around you. Most homes sit on cul-de-sacs or dead ends, so you get that buffer without feeling isolated. Decks and patios face wooded yards, and the whole vibe is low-key residential—raised ranches and ranch homes with finished basements, updated kitchens, the kind of place where people actually use their garages and workshops.
