Sobieski Add.
Walkable near top schools
Median $292K·Walkability 8.2/10·Schools 4.3/10
You wake up here and a grocery store is a two-minute walk away—not a trip you plan, just something you do between other things. Sobieski Add. sits in Midtown, a ten-acre pocket where Michigan Street's restaurant row (think The Friesian, Taco Bicho, Logan's Alley) is practically on your doorstep, and the Fulton Street Farmer's Market, running strong since nineteen twenty-two, is close enough to become part of your Saturday rhythm. Fuller Park is a seven-minute walk, and there are a dozen more parks within a mile—the kind of density that means you're never far from green space or a coffee shop.
