The Avenues
The Avenues climb the bench northeast of downtown in a tidy lettered-and-numbered grid of Victorian and Craftsman homes, most of them now spoken for by doctors, professors, and the kind of couples who own two bikes each. The neighborhood reads quiet and residential, which is the point: dates here are walks past gardens, coffee at Publik or Hatch, and the long view back over the valley from 11th Avenue. Nightlife is essentially outsourced to downtown, a short Lyft or a brisk descent away. The hillside is charming until February, when the north-facing streets stop pretending to thaw.
