Crichton
Crichton sits north of midtown with the bones of a streetcar suburb and the budget of a neighborhood the city largely stopped marketing. The housing stock leans early-twentieth-century cottages, some lovingly kept, others waiting on someone with patience and a contractor. Rents are among the lowest inside the loop, which is the honest sell and the honest warning. You are buying proximity to downtown and Spring Hill, not a curated walkable strip. Cherokee Street has corner-store rhythms rather than coffee-shop ones. For a renter who values square footage and a short commute over a tidy retail backdrop, Crichton pencils out.
