On the ground
What it is like to live here, beyond the scores.
Between Cedar Lake and the Isles — quiet streets, a trail system, and a name that is three neighborhoods glued together. It is the most residential of the chain of lakes slice: less Uptown, more path.
You will bike everywhere and still own a car. Downtown is a ride. Weight lake and safety. Linden Hills is the village version south of here; this is the in-between.
