The Neighbors

A jack-of-all-trades neighborhood with trendy hipsters, working artists, business professionals, and families.

Trendy hipsters and artists have infused culture and style into the area in recent years, and local schools attract families who also want to live in unique and spacious homes.
 

What to Expect

An illustrious shopping and food landscape.

Small boutiques next door to well-known designers and retailers welcome shoppers. Others come for the food: Tokyo-style ramen; rooftop views and meat-oriented American fare; thin crust pies and house brews with live-band karaoke; Mexican street food at lively, cash-only hangouts; burgers and cocktails in rustic, takeout-friendly digs; and modern dining in a former bathhouse.

Trendsetting dining and entertainment experiences.

Given its prevailing creative influence within the city, the neighborhood regularly seduces top-notch, innovative restaurateurs and mixologists to come and shake things up, which makes for a thriving nightlife scene.

Unexpected Appeal

An irreverent eclecticism to this charming landmark community.
