Dining ranges from casual stops to sit-down meals, and evening options include bars and performances nearby. Residents can get around on foot, by bicycle, or via city transit, with downtown close at hand. Mount Vernon neighborhood rent has a median of $1,259 per month and a typical range of $890 to $6,500.
