J. Penney'S Add.
Solid value in a growing area
Median $580K·Walkability 6.1/10·Schools 4.0/10
You're living on forty-one acres of what used to be someone's catalog empire, now carved into parcels where homes hover around $521K and you're basically standing on downtown's doorstep—a three-minute drive and you're there. The daily rhythm here means stepping out to coffee in four minutes or grabbing dinner in five, with over 400 restaurants within a mile if you're feeling indecisive; transit access is right there too, which is the kind of thing that matters more than people admit. Heritage Hill wraps around you—all that Frank Lloyd Wright and nineteenth-century architecture that makes the whole district famous—but J. Penney's Add. itself is smaller-lot, more contemporary, the kind of subdivision where you get actual proximity to things rather than the grand-home-on-a-big-plot situation. Mooney Park is essentially your backyard, and there are twenty-two parks within walking distance if you count the way locals count distance.
