Median $280K·Walkability 7.4/10·Schools 4.1/10
This 12-acre stretch sits right in the middle of Midtown, where you're a two-minute walk from the Fulton Street Farmers Market and a quick stroll to a coffee shop, grocery, or one of over 300 restaurants within a mile. Lots average about a fifth of an acre—tight but walkable, with errands and dining scores hitting 8/10. Downtown is just 5 minutes away by car, and transit stops are a two-minute walk from most addresses. The neighborhood runs classic: American Foursquares and Queen Anne Victorians, many over a century old, sitting alongside well-updated homes that kept their historic bones. You'll find yourself two blocks from one of the city's best farmers markets, close enough to bike to the Medical Mile in ten minutes, and near dozens of locally run spots on Michigan Street. William C. Abney Academy serves the area. Sixteen parks within a mile, a dog park four minutes away, and boat access at Butterworth Park 2.7 miles out give you room to move.
