"Gentrifying neighborhood with a ton of natural amenities"

I have lived here for four years - The area is generally quiet, working-middle class, and my neighbors have been lovely and welcoming. The area is safer than many of the comments would have you believe - gangs and drugs? I haven't seen any of that (south of Atlantic Ave, that's another story). Highland Park is an amazing asset - a really large park with trails, a bird sanctuary, and free athletic activities like basketball, tennis, handball, etc. I believe they are also building a dog run there as part of the rezoning. There is good latin food, but there isn't a lot of diversity in other restaurant options yet; I do believe that will come. The neighborhood has the framework for a great future.
Pros
  • Friendly welcoming neighbors
  • Rezoning is bringing improvements
  • Close to train
  • Highly diverse population
  • Lots of ethnic food & shopping options
  • Amazing park
  • Friendly local library
Cons
  • No upscale or trendy stores
  • loud car stereos
