Cascade Market Place
Walkable near top schools
Walkability 7.7/10·Schools 8.5/10
Look, the main thing you should know before you get here is that this place sits on 28th Street where it actually feels removed—there's a private drive that keeps the noise and traffic theater at arm's length, which is the whole trick when you're building condos on a busy road. The units themselves are modern and straightforward: one-bedrooms around 900 square feet, three-bedrooms pushing 1,500, all clean lines and windows that actually let light in, built back in 2003 and maintained without drama. Homes here run around $250,000, and you get grocery stores and restaurants within steps, which beats the hell out of a twenty-minute expedition every time you forget milk. The coffee shop's an 11-minute walk if you're into that; if you're not, there are 96 restaurants within a mile, so the assumption is you're ordering out or dining somewhere decent rather quickly.
