Old Town

Old Town attracts a mix the statistics only hint at — walk it on a Saturday morning and you’ll see who your neighbors would be.

Who lives here

Long-time owners in the listed townhouses, professionals in the converted upper floors, and a stubborn handful of artists who arrived before the prices did. Turnover is low; when something good comes up, it moves fast.

Schools & families

School ratings above reflect the public catchment schools; two well-regarded private options inside the district change the picture for some families.

Getting around

Transit and walk scores are editorial estimates based on stop density and daily-needs distance. In practice: you will not need a car, and you will resent owning one — parking is the district’s only real argument against itself.

Eat, drink, weekend

The lifestyle layer is what data can’t price in: the Tuesday market on Cathedral Square, the wine bars that fill at five, and river walks that start where the cobblestones end.
