Field Notes

Restaurants & Lifestyle

1 piece

Where a house sits decides more of daily life than the house does. These pieces cover the Triangle as somewhere people actually live — which neighborhoods connect directly to a greenway and which ones require driving to reach one, where the restaurants that survive more than two years have clustered, what a fifteen-minute difference in commute costs in practice, and which amenities that show up in listing copy turn out to matter once you are here. The bias is toward things that can be verified on foot. Marketing describes every subdivision as walkable; comparatively few of them are, and the difference shows up in resale eventually. For the ground-level version of the same question, the neighborhood studies cover it street by street.
