Neighborhoods
The neighborhood holds many activities and quite a few fun places to visit. This neighborhood is very safe and excellent for walking through the quiet streets.
Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find is a great comic book store, carrying a massive collection of books and graphic novels. You could also visit The Visulite Theatre to take in some live music and comedy performances. As a largely residential area, there isn’t too much bustle, but the nightlife can still be quite enjoyable. Plus, there are small cafés tucked here and there. You will also find homes that have been renovated into shops or restaurants like Caswell Station.
Elizabeth also offers cool options if you would rather have some outdoor time. Take a break at Independence or Elizabeth Park to enjoy its amenities or just have some quiet time.
