Charles Hart'S Sub of Lots 8,9,10, & 11. Miller Add
Walkable and connected
Median $277K·Walkability 6.4/10·Schools 4.8/10
Sitting just eight minutes from downtown, this seven-acre neighborhood wedges itself into a corner where errands feel natural—grocery a few steps away, restaurants lining the block like they were born there—and transit access that doesn't require negotiation. The lots run modest, around a quarter-acre each, the kind of scale where you're close enough to neighbors to hear their deck parties but far enough to mind your own business. Parks scatter within a mile, including one a short walk away, and if you've got a boat, Comstock Riverside Launch sits about a mile out. The real draw is proximity: you're not commuting to downtown, you're practically there already, and the airport's a straightforward twenty-four minutes when you need it. It reads less like a destination and more like a place where the convenience was already built in.
