Ravenlake’s Districts
Downtown
Downtown is the lively heart of Ravenlake, a walkable maze of cafés, boutique shops, and small local restaurants tucked beneath warm streetlamps and brick façades.
By day, the district buzzes with shoppers, students, and workers drifting between bookstores, bakeries, and artisan stalls; by night, the cocktail bars, diners, and late-hour shake shops light up the streets.
Outdoor seating, glowing neon signs, and a steady hum of conversation give Downtown its signature cozy-but-social character. It’s the place where Ravenlake gathers — for errands, for evenings out, and for the simple pleasure of wandering well-loved streets.
Everson Heights
Everson Heights is Ravenlake’s most exclusive hillside district, where sweeping forest views and long, winding drives lead to secluded modern mansions. Glass-walled estates, infinity pools, and perfectly terraced gardens sit high above the town, catching the sunrise long before the streets below.
Hidden among the trees, the ultra-wealthy live in quiet, uninterrupted luxury, surrounded by private security, curated landscapes, and the stillness of the upper valley.
It’s the kind of place most residents only glimpse from a distance — a world apart, perched above Ravenlake like a private kingdom.
Thorpe
Thorpe is Ravenlake’s civic heart, home to Ravenlake High, the Mayor’s Office, the Courthouse, and the town’s Historical Society. Its red-brick buildings, broad lawns, and neatly kept streets give the district a proud, institutional character shaped by decades of community life.
Students, officials, and everyday residents cross paths here, moving between classrooms, council meetings, and tree-lined public squares.
Orderly, traditional, and deeply rooted in town history, Thorpe is where Ravenlake’s laws are written — and where its stories begin.
Ashton Village
Ashton Village is Ravenlake’s creative and queer quarter, a colourful stretch of indie shops, murals, and lived-in storefronts buzzing with local energy. The grungy music venue Relics sits at its heart, surrounded by hip bars, community gardens, and the studios of Ravenlake’s young artists and makers.
By day, it’s all coffee, zines, and radio broadcasts drifting from open windows; by night, the streets glow with gig posters and neon.
It’s the district where newcomers find their people — and where Ravenlake’s rebellion, creativity, and heart beat loudest.
Hope
Hope is Ravenlake’s kooky, witchy quarter — streets of curiosity shops, crystal sellers, alchemy labs, and dive bars draped in velvet and neon. Taxidermy windows, tarot parlours, and odd little galleries give the district its offbeat charm, attracting occult enthusiasts, artists, and late-night wanderers alike.
The air here always smells faintly of incense, candle smoke, and something you can’t quite name, especially after dark.
If you’re hunting for a potion, a grimoire, or simply a place where the strange feels normal, Hope is where you want to be.
Lakeside
Lakeside sits right on the edge of Raven Lake, a warm, scenic district known for its waterfront pubs, rustic patios, and lively evening crowds.
Firepits, fairy lights, and open-air dining make it a favourite spot for date nights and weekend meetups, with everything from fine dining at Seven Tastes to vegan and grill eateries along the shore. Kayaks and paddleboards drift past as the sun goes down, and music from the patios carries softly over the water.
Relaxed, indulgent, and always social, Lakeside is where Ravenlake unwinds.
Huntington
Huntington is Ravenlake’s enclave of new money — a neighbourhood of grand homes, manicured lawns, and polished evening soirées.
Businessmen, entrepreneurs, and the town’s rising elite settle here, where vintage cars gleam in driveways and garden parties are a seasonal ritual. At the district’s heart stands opulent Monrose Manor, host to galas, fundraisers, and the kind of deals that quietly shape the town’s future.
Elegant, self-assured, and always immaculate, Huntington is where Ravenlake’s nouveau riche make their mark.
Mayfair
Mayfair is Ravenlake’s picture-perfect mini-suburb, a neighbourhood of tidy lawns, quiet streets, and welcoming family homes.
Little parks, cul-de-sacs, and community barbecues define the rhythm of life here, with sprinklers and kids’ bikes lining the sidewalks in summer. In winter, the same streets fill with snowmen, sledges, and strings of warm porch lights glowing through early evenings.
Safe, cosy, and aspirational, Mayfair is where Ravenlake’s families settle in and stay.
Kendall
Kendall may not have much money, but it thrives on grit, colour, and a strong sense of community. Tiny homes, painted porches, solar panels, and DIY gardens fill the district with personality, giving it a warm, lived-in charm.
Street music, food stalls, and impromptu gatherings spill into the lanes on most evenings, turning the neighbourhood into a patchwork of shared stories.
Kendall is where Ravenlake’s found families take root — vibrant, scrappy, and full of heart.
Beacon Trail
Beacon Trail leads straight into Ravenlake’s wildest country — a stretch of deep forest, rolling mountains, and misty overlooks that feel untouched by time.
Hikers, campers, and explorers follow its winding paths past old fire towers, hidden streams, and the remnants of long-abandoned mines. Rustic lodges, hunters’ cabins, and whispered local legends give the trail its rugged, slightly eerie charm.
For those who brave it, Beacon Trail offers Ravenlake’s raw beauty at its most mysterious and unforgettable.
The Magpies
The Magpies is one of Ravenlake’s oldest stretches of woodland, land long tied to ritual, folklore, and the remnants of ancient gatherings. Today it’s home to travellers, caravan dwellers, and free spirits who carve out their own community beneath the tall pines.
Campfires, story circles, and the scent of incense (and other substances) drift through the trees, giving the place an otherworldly calm mixed with a hint of mischief.
If you’re searching for wanderers, wild tales, or a perspective-shifting evening, The Magpies is where you’ll find them.
The Industrial District
The Industrial District is Ravenlake’s rough-edged work zone — a sprawl of garages, workshops, and aging warehouses buzzing from dawn to dusk. Al’s Auto-Repairs, the Antiques Centre, and a handful of specialty trades give the area its practical heartbeat, drawing in everyone from mechanics to collectors.
After hours, the district shifts: rumours of underground raves, hidden studios, and late-night meetups echo through the empty lots.
Useful, unpredictable, and a little dangerous, the Industrial District rewards curiosity — but demands caution.
Alton
Gullspire Reservoir is the heart of Alton, its still water reflecting the modernist apartments that climb the eastern bank. Sailboats and paddleboards drift across the reservoir in summer, while walkers follow the looping paths that hug the shoreline.
To the north, the hills rise sharply into dense Pacific Northwest forest, offering some of the most breathtaking views in all of Ravenlake.
Equal parts scenic, peaceful, and quietly upscale, Alton is where the town meets the mountains.
Newrise
Newrise is Ravenlake’s growing eastern district, a neighbourhood of modern low-rise apartments, open courtyards, and tree-lined walks set against the edge of the forest. Wide paths, pocket parks, and community courts give the area a calm, open feel, attracting younger families and students looking for space and light.
Converted workshops and small local cafés sit between new residential blocks, blending the district’s practical past with its hopeful, upward-moving future.
With the hills rising steeply behind it, Newrise is the part of town where fresh starts and early sunrises seem to come naturally.
