Walkability 6.1/10·Schools 4.2/10
The brick warehouses here run four and five stories, their windows dark or lit by studio lights depending on the hour—the physical remnant of what this neighborhood was, now being slowly claimed by artists, breweries, and the kind of people who show up at midnight for a concert and call it Tuesday. Crescent Park sits a three-minute walk away, and you're standing in the middle of 32 parks within a mile, though most days the real action happens indoors: restaurants cluster so densely that you can walk two minutes to eat, and transit stops are practically at your front door.
