Mount Lookout Neighborhood Overview

Stars Over Ault, Strollers To MLT

🧭Generally defined as the area: Erie Avenue and Paxton to the north, Columbia Parkway and the bluff above Eastern Avenue to the south, Linwood Avenue and Beechmont Circle to the east, Delta Avenue and the hillside above Columbia Tusculum to the west

📌Mount Lookout is best known for: Ault Park fireworks on Fourth of July when the entire city shows up and brag worthy porch hydrangeas that bloom like nobody's business in June

👕You can spot a Mount Lookout local by: carrying a jogging stroller and arguing about sourdough fermentation times at Sitwell's while wearing Lululemon

👍Move here if you want: hilltop breezes, quick Hyde Park access, weekly Ault Park sunsets and a mortgage that'll make you rethink all your life choices

👎Be prepared for: parking near the Square after 6, it's a nightmare, and relentless wedding photographers taking engagement photos at Ault Park pavilion every Saturday

The vibe around Mount Lookout is: leafy, smug, cardio and cocktails with people who can afford the property taxes (we can't)

sunrise runners and patio brunch strategists who know to call ahead for MLT reservations
