About this Neighborhood

Magnolia trades bustle for breathing room: eight parks plus hiking trails, a baseball field and a swimming pool per the Foursquare regulars, with a church and library rounding out the civic side. The dining is smaller but well-loved — 14 restaurants at a 4.3 average, led by Nikos Gyros, Mondello Italian Restaurant and Petit Pierre Bakery. With more than 6,300 Yelp reviews, the neighborhood clearly has its regulars. Four coffee shops, three groceries and five fitness spots keep this peninsular pocket self-sufficient and calm.
