They are paying the premium for “walkability” which for some people ends up near the top of their list when searching for a home. There’s a lot to be said for the ability to walk 5 minutes to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc. So while the house may be “meh,” the location is great with tons of stuff along Adams Ave.
