Music Row: ~2.5 miles (7–12 minutes by Uber), convenient for daytime exploring and iconic stops
Nissan Stadium: ~2.5 miles (7–12 minutes by Uber), manageable for concerts and events without downtown gridlock
Staying just a few minutes from downtown means easy resets, outfit changes, and calmer mornings
Homes like The Herman Haven sit in the ideal zone: close enough for flexibility, far enough for peace and better sleep
