Really interesting and gorgeous neighborhood. Really excited for the Woodburn exchange to be built to make it my future home. The area is very nice, interesting topography and history, and has a lot to do.

such a great neighborhood! has a great vibe during the day and a cute nightlife scene. it is also one of the most dog friendly neighborhoods I've ever seen! it's nice to live in a place that feels almost suburban but is also only 5 minutes from downtown
