Active and young, plenty to do, and easy access to go elsewhere if you want. This is a diverse area with a unique past and style, with most of the homes built from 1900-1950.

This area is really great. It's quite yet close to the downtown area. It has a lot of accessibility to public transportation and a variety of restaurants at varying prices.

The community is getting better and is growing and thriving. Many new homes and restaurants are being built and the community is overall safe and most are friendly and active.

I live in a very "up and coming" area. Many new businesses are opening, people that currently live in the area are making major home remodels and it's a nice neighborhood. Growing and thriving.
