Proximity to the Centennial Bridge offers a wealth of options when it comes to rental housing and access to work.

Catch up with friends while grabbing a beer and some grub at Blue Cat Brew Pub, a neighborhood staple since 1994, or indulge in a little retail therapy in throwback style with a visit to Fred and Ethel's on 14th Avenue.
