Shirley-Lou Addition

Out here you're working with corner lots and double lots—the kind of space that actually lets you breathe—and the homes tend to run modest in footprint but generous in land. A metal roof or fresh remodel shows up often enough in what trades hands, which speaks to the steady work owners put into their places rather than any flipping trend. Glen D. Curtis Memorial Park sits about an 8-minute walk away, and there are four parks total within a mile, so if you've got kids or just need to move around without driving, that's genuinely there. Woodbeck Lake is roughly a mile and a quarter down the road, close enough for a summer afternoon but not so close that every property sits on water. Restaurant options run a 15-minute walk, which means you're not entirely rural but you're not downtown either—it's the kind of distance that keeps things from feeling cramped.
