Garbow Plat No.1
Great schools with outdoor access
Walkability 2.1/10·Schools 10.0/10
The best part about this place is how close you are to water—Kettle Lake sits just a fifth of a mile away, and Campau Lake public access is a quick walk to the northeast. Fifteen acres of residential streets, half-acre lots running around $627K, and you've got eighteen restaurants within a mile, plus another one close enough for an eight-minute walk when you don't feel like cooking. It's the kind of setup where you can actually reach things on foot without pretending.
