If you’ve seen The Sixth Sense, you’ve seen this street. The boy who saw dead people lived here. This block has been occupied since the 1870s, so there would be a lot of them to see. Built as working class housing, this was part of a tough Irish neighborhood called Devil’s Pocket. Zillow shows a house on this block sold for $725k two years ago, so the devil would need deep pockets now.
This pedestrian only block is located off 23rd St. south of Fitzwater. The literal centerpiece is a block long gated garden maintained by the residents.
