While the Downtown district is a great place to enjoy breakfast at a cozy café or have a locally-brewed pint while taking in views of the river, the city also features a large cluster of shopping centers on the northwest side of town, offering everything from grocers to hardware stores to the local multiplex movie theater. The diverse rental market features a broad range of apartments, condos, and houses, with options to suit any taste or budget.
