With kids? And a dog? Not in one of those overpriced towers I hope? I think with a family living right by the train wouldn’t be first choice. Having said that train is superior to 2-4 hours in a car every day!

No but there’s federal hill, smith hill, college hill, mt hope, and upper south all in what I consider to be walking distance. Maybe not the shortest walk but it’s really great to remove a needed additional step of the bus or a Lyft.

I think walking to the train from most of those places year round is ambitious. Walking down to north main means you have to walk up. Hence the 1 bus. I’m not saying it’s impossible but I know very few people who actually do that on foot (maybe e bike tho?). I mean I agree with the post of choices but think the idea of walking from mt hope in bad weather or winter is……. Not ideal.

And not many people want to live in a shitty old 900 sq ft apartment that costs $4k/mo with kids, a spouse, and a dog lol.
