Locals enjoy the proximity to the city's most loved natural attractions while being surrounded by dining and community parks. "It's an up-and-coming area with lots of remodeled homes. It's a mix of generational neighbors, and then you have the younger business professionals who find themselves coming in recent years," says Jesus Alcala, a real estate agent with Duran & Co. Realty Group, which has recently partnered with Monument Realty. "The couple I was working with loved that it was right by 35, and they don't even have to go on the freeway to get to downtown."

Spending the afternoon at Oakhurst Park
