"Great features for families"
Okay, let’s see if I’ve got this straight: historic neighborhood. Active neighborhood association. And a community garden that’s now in its second year. So why am I not there?
“Historic homes” does sometimes mean smaller, crowded together homes, and I saw some of those here. But “historic” can also mean “the trees have had time to grow”: there are plenty of shaded, secluded back yards in the McFerrin Park neighborhood.
The actual park for which this neighborhood is named boasts an outdoor walking path and a nearby community center. The community center, in turn, boasts a gym, a fitness center, meeting rooms, and a small kitchen.
The extreme northwestern corner of the McFerrin Park neighborhood did see some damage from the flood back in May, so be aware of flood-related issues when looking at properties in those two blocks.
All in all, McFerrin Park looks like a great place to live.
MTA’s bus route #28 serves the western and northern edges of the McFerrin Park neighborhood. The #14 and the #23 run along Dickerson Road on the western edge of this area.
