I can vouch for living in Museum District without a car. While I have one, there are some weeks where I only move my car for street cleaning. That was a big selling point for me when I was looking for a house in the area. You can even walk to multiple movie theaters! I walk to Willow Lawn occasionally which is about 1.5 miles and has all the eating and shopping variety of a mall. Not to mention being in walking distance of all the perks of the adjoining neighborhoods.
