Located just to the west of downtown is the bustling community of Oliver. Although it’s a densely populated area with many high-rise residential buildings, Oliver is surrounded by nature and is within walking distance of shopping, dining, and stunning river valley views. It’s an ideal place to spend a cozy fall day!
