People have personalities, and so do neighborhoods. A neighborhood’s character describes its personality and the feeling one gets when experiencing the neighborhood as a true resident. Character descriptors are listed in order of importance, from most to least, just like the ingredients are listed on a box of cereal. The combination of descriptors listed, and their order, provides unique insights about a neighborhood, before you buy or rent.
