You know where to find Howards Add—right where Douglas Avenue meets West 11th Street, spread across 208 acres of lots that run around 1.5 acres each. Homes here hover near $529K, and the whole setup puts you steps from grocery runs, coffee, and dining that includes some 200-plus restaurants within a mile.
