The district features modest mid-century homes and garden apartments with surprising space compared to downtown options.

  What it’s like to live in Historic Midtown

  Historic Midtown’s converted 1920s factories now house exposed-brick lofts near the Douglas Design District’s edgy galleries. First Fridays offer free craft beer, but -10°F winds penetrate single-pane windows. Shared laundry rooms jam during art walks—time loads around event schedules. Industrial grit meets prairie creativity.
