You wake up here and you're already near everything that matters—a bus stop is literally steps away, downtown is a six-minute drive, and Lincoln Park is an easy walk when you need air. Hillding Add. sits within John Ball Park, a 10-acre subdivision where lots run about a quarter-acre each and homes hover around $338K. You're surrounded by 78 restaurants within a mile, a dog park 13 minutes on foot, and enough green space nearby that you don't feel landlocked despite the density.

Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
