Extension of the Island Add
Walkable with great nature access
Walkability 7.0/10·Schools 4.1/10
Extension of the Island Add sits on just 3 acres, which means you're living in the densest part of downtown—practically on top of the Louis Campau Promenade and steps from restaurants, coffee shops, and transit. The subdivision's walkability score of 7/10 masks what's really going on here: dining reaches a perfect 10, and you can reach 474 restaurants within a mile, which isn't amenity-speak so much as it is the literal reality of being this close to Downtown. A grocery store is a 12-minute walk away, and there are 36 within two miles if you're particular about where you shop.
