The Highlands
LoHi and the Highlands sit across the river from downtown, close enough for the skyline view and far enough to charge for it. The restaurant density is real, the female skew is real, and the date-night infrastructure is the most legible in the city. Rents reflect all three. This is where you go when the bar should be walkable and the kitchen should be good, not when you are stress-testing a budget. Parking is a chore, the hills are steeper than they look, and the crowd trends older than Cap Hill by a meaningful margin.
