Adding to the community connection, you are just a short walk away from traditional annual events in every season. From the Spring Stroll, to summer’s art shows and CHIRP concerts, to the Tree Lighting Ceremony and Holiday Stroll, highlights the holiday season. And in the evening year-round, walk to live theater, concerts, movies, and stellar restaurants. It would be nice to get to experience everything that’s happening so close to home, wouldn’t it?
