Midtown

Michigan Street runs right through the heart of it all—lined with locally loved spots like The Friesian, Seven Monks, Taco Bicho, and Logan's Alley, so you're never far from dinner or a coffee run. The neighborhood sits wedged between downtown and the Medical Mile, which means you're about four and a half minutes from the heart of the city if you need it, but honestly most days you don't have to go anywhere. The Fulton Street Farmer's Market has been a neighborhood anchor since 1922, and it's still the largest source of fresh local produce in the city—the kind of place where you actually run into people you know. You'll see American Foursquares and Queen Anne Victorians from the 1800s, many over 150 years old, mixed in with more recent builds, and homes here run around $295K on the median. There's a real rhythm to walking around—sidewalks everywhere, people with dogs heading to one of the sixteen parks within a mile, bikes moving between neighborhoods. The Fulton Street Cemetery, founded back in 1838, sits as a quiet reminder of how long this place has been here. Houseman Field hosts soccer and track events in an 8,000-seat stadium that draws the neighborhood out on game days. Transit stops are steps away, and you've got grocery stores and restaurants practically on every corner—751 within a mile—so car dependency never really becomes a question. Forest Hills Public Schools serves the area.
