Straddling Northeast Fremont Street for roughly 40 central eastside blocks, you might call this thicket of tidy early 20th-century homes the Fremont Corridor. (read more) The mansion-lined Alameda Ridge cuts a graceful S-curve through the leafy quarter, a ribbon of stately affluence. With high rates of home ownership and property values that surged during the ’90s and early 2000s, this is largely a quiet, family neighborhood. In summer, 15-acre Wilshire Park (Northeast 33rd Avenue and Skidmore Street) is split between unleashed children and frolicking dogs. The kids take over Wilshire’s pair of baseball diamonds for Little League games, kicking up dust in the infield and crowding the park’s snack shack for complimentary post-game Sno-Kones. The dogs prefer the canopied eastern end of the park, sprinting and tussling in the off-leash area. A short walk northwest, a bulbous, matte-green behemoth, the neighborhood’s iconic water tower, looms over the Sabin Community Garden (Northeast 19th Avenue and Skidmore Street), where neighbors gather to bring in the communal harvest each fall. —Ethan Smith
