Smith's Addition
Walkable and connected
Walkability 6.6/10·Schools 4.0/10
The alley that once cut through Block 1 is gone now—vacated and folded back into the lots around Waverly Place—and what remains is a tight, walkable grid of four acres where restaurants and coffee shops sit a two-minute walk away and transit stops are practically at your doorstep. Lincoln Place Park runs right alongside, and the whole thing hums with the density of downtown: 498 restaurants within a mile, transit that scores a perfect 10, dining options everywhere you look.
