Downtown

Young Professionals

Downtown draws a mix of young professionals and empty nesters looking to have an easy walk to work and to the big entertainment district, filled with theaters, bars, restaurants and overall social energy. Crosstown is an up-and-coming neighborhood with a more arts district vibe if you favor a bit more quirk in your area.

Harbor Town

Families

Young progressive families will hang on to their city lifestyle in the Cooper-Young neighborhood. Great bungalow housing pulls them in and the lifestyle keeps them here. Harbor Town is a good option if you want to be near downtown but are ready for a bit more quiet for you and the kiddos. A smaller number of family-friendly restaurants and upscale townhomes and condos pull in both wealthy young families and empty nesters who like overlooking the Mississippi River.
