Strong schools draw families here
Walkability 1.3/10·Schools 6.8/10
Your morning commute here unfolds across tree-lined streets and modest homes set back on generous lots—the kind of place where you're more likely to notice the mature maples than the mailboxes. The neighborhood sits comfortably between the airport and downtown, close enough to slip into the city when you need it but far enough away that you're not living in anyone's flight path. A short drive gets you to Lions Spring Park for a walk, or Duck Lake if you want water nearby.
