The neighborhood features a mix of historic architecture, including Foursquares, Craftsman homes, and bungalows, alongside apartment buildings and rental units catering to the high student population. Drake Stadium hosts local high school games and the nationally recognized Drake Relays, while Helmick Commons provides a green space for gatherings. The Drake business district is home to unique local businesses, such as the retro-themed Drake Diner, University Library Café, and Lefty’s Live Music, offering a variety of dining and entertainment options.
