About this Neighborhood

Gardner earns a 38, helped along by a genuinely good dining scene for its size: twelve restaurants nearby averaging 4.6 stars, on top of a 4.5 Yelp average across 6,100 reviews. Add four grocery stores, three parks, and three fitness spots and you have a neighborhood that covers daily life reasonably well, though it still reads as quiet and residential overall. The top names — Cafe San Jose, Gunther's Restaurant and Catering, and Bagel Guys Bakery — skew toward casual, well-loved local fare. Foursquare tags round out the picture with a hiking trail, coffee shop, sandwich spot, and the practical presence of dentists and doctor's offices. With just one coffee shop logged, your morning cup might still be a home affair on some days.
