Maris Add.

Most people imagine Midtown as all energy and noise—but Maris Add. sits in the quiet pocket where that hustle actually makes sense. Two acres tucked into one of the city's most walkable corners, where you can be steps from the constant hum of Michigan Street's restaurants and coffee shops, yet set back enough to breathe. Homes here run around $262,000, mostly modest lots that hold older brick and frame cottages updated for real living. The nearest park is a four-minute walk, and there are nineteen within a mile. Downtown is four minutes by car; the airport twenty or so. You're not removed from the city—you're woven into Midtown at its most practical.
