Character

Cricket Hill is appealing, as it has both vibrant and quiet areas. Even though this part of Kokomo is not known for its lively ambience, with the bars in nearby neighborhoods, it is rather difficult to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located relatively far away. At the same time, this area is wonderful for those who enjoy a quiet atmosphere, as the streets tend to be very calm.
