Interesting take, and curious why you guys think this.
Perhaps not my top 5, but it'll make my top 10. It's a bit British-expat-boomer which is pretty much the antithesis of "cool" (no offense if anyone happens to fall in that demographic... hehe), but the neighbourhood is beautiful, charming and unique in the city. Kew Gardens is a lovely park. Queen isn't the most exciting strip but it has character and fulfills its role.
The residential can be charming and works well with the heavily treed streets and the beach vibe. Lots of nice examples of Edwardian and Craftsman-style houses. Also a good number of walk-ups.
