With pleasant tree lined streets and proximity to everything, you won't regret staying in this neck of the woods. We're one of the quietest and safest active neighborhoods close to downtown with a great mix of all age groups and types.

Quite a bit of interest is within walking distance. We encourage you to get out and get around!
Are you bringing your bike with you? A bike is a great way to travel here as there are a couple of bike lanes nearby, and you can take tree-lined streets to your destination.
