—and what really stands out is how close you are to Plaster Creek without feeling remote. Laraway Plaza sits right on the edge of Ken-O-Sha Park, where that famous wooden Amplifier structure captures the creek sounds, and the 1.6-mile loop trail is basically a three-minute walk away. With 36 restaurants within a mile and a transit stop steps from your door, you've got real access without the density.
