What surprises people most? This stretch sits just two miles east of downtown, yet it doesn't feel like you're living in the city—it's got actual breathing room, tree-lined streets, and homes with character. The whole vibe hinges on Wealthy Street, where local spots like Donkey Taqueria and Speciation Cellars pull neighbors in regularly, and the walkability here is genuinely high enough that you can skip the car for groceries and dinner.
