Walkability 6.3/10·Schools 4.2/10
...so you're looking at a one-acre slice of Belknap Lookout, perched on that famous bluff where the whole city spreads out below you. The neighborhood runs steep—over four hundred steps carved through it—which means the land here has actual topology, actual drama. Transit stops are basically at your doorstep, and restaurants and coffee shops are a two-minute walk. Downtown is three and a half minutes away, which sounds less like commuting and more like a neighborhood errand.
