University Heights
University Heights is what happens when a research university and a residential grid agree to share a zip code without ever quite reconciling. The South Campus stop anchors it; Main Street threads through it; the porches on Winspear and Northrup hold whoever signed a lease in August. Coffee at Sweetness 7, late food on Bailey, the Globe a short walk away. The honest tradeoff: rents stay reachable because the housing stock is tired and the demographic churns every May. Date here if you want graduate-student energy and an actual sidewalk. Skip it if you need your neighbors to also be over thirty.
