Parks & Nature

Our amazing neighborhood greenspace. FOOD TRUCKS park up here in summer. Hang out on the lawn all day, watching sailboats, ferries, and kayakers out on the Bay. When you get tired of that, walk back 2 minutes up the street to your place. We think of the Prom as our backyard.

Shopping

This is our local fish store. Best one. It's located a 3 minute drive away in the Old Port, where basically you can't park. BUT, they have monitored parking for customers - so you can get in and out and have an iconic local experience as well.
