Everyday conveniences are close at hand, with a supermarket less than one mile away and a neighborhood playground within walking distance, making this location especially attractive for buyers seeking both connectivity and quality of life. The surrounding area is known for tree-lined streets, a strong sense of community, and proximity to schools, transit, and retail.
