We walk everywhere, in addition to hiking in the mountains (trailheads 2-blocks away), and walking to Pearl Street for dining and entertainment, there are convenient amenities close by. We walk for groceries, bagels, pizza, even our vet is within walking distance. Additionally, we are just outside the 'restricted parking' area allowing guests to park as long as needed. Our backyard is very private and large for downtown, our dogs love it. The front porch is big enough for entertaining, we frequently have coffee in the morning, or our evening meals on there.
