You're really within walking or cycling distance of a high-end grocery store, Fausto's, 522 Fleming, as well. It's like Fresh Market only smaller. Been in KW for over 85 years.

The Foundry Building is very nice. Some of the Truman Annex's 2br rentals are a bit on the ratty side. My friend's rental was in dire need of maintenance and upgrading... and a good cleaning!
