Strong schools draw families here
Median $279K·Walkability 6.1/10·Schools 4.7/10
—and that's where Edward Newhof Plat sits, a quiet 2-acre subdivision in Creston where the lots run small and tight, around 0.14 acres each. You're a short walk from a restaurant—most within three minutes—and the neighborhood's got a real food scene working for it: 96 dining options within a mile, from taquerias to coffee shops to breweries lining Plainfield Avenue. The median home here hovers around $279K, which means you're buying into a place where the bones are older (Victorian cottages, ranch homes, the occasional Foursquare) and the bones are solid.
