The rhythm here runs on foot traffic and transit proximity—a transit stop sits practically at your doorstep, and restaurants cluster so densely that dinner is often steps away rather than a drive. Prospect Park is a three-minute walk, one of eleven parks within a mile, so weekend plans don't require much planning. Homes here run around $379K on quarter-acre lots in a 4-acre platted subdivision served by Black River Public School.
