    On Madison's near-east side, 53714 mixes tree-lined, mid-century blocks in Eastmorland and Hiestand with quick access to lakes, trails, and daily conveniences. Four true seasons shape life here—snowy winters, bright springs, warm summers, and colorful falls—great for biking the Starkweather Creek and Capital City trails, disc golf or sledding at Hiestand Park, and picnics in Eastmorland Park. Woodman's East anchors grocery runs; nearby coffee spots, casual restaurants along Cottage Grove Road, local gyms, and the East Towne shopping corridor keep errands easy, with Garver Feed Mill and east-side breweries just minutes away. The vibe is friendly and relaxed, with a mix of long-time residents, young professionals, and families; sidewalks, yards, and greenways make it notably pet friendly. Recent Zillow market trends show a median rent around $1,650, with most listings roughly $1,200-$2,200 over the past few months. Madison Metro routes and fast access to US-51 and Hwy 12/18 make it commuter friendly and keep downtown close.
