Fitchs Add. means stepping out your door into the thick of things—a transit stop is practically on your block, grocery runs happen in steps, and dinner is a short walk no matter what you're craving, with nearly 400 restaurants within a mile. The subdivision sits right in John Ball Park, where 23 parks sprawl across the immediate area, including Douglas Park just three minutes on foot, and the dog park is close enough that your pup knows the regulars.
