This area is very hit or miss. It is very expensive to live, but also very safe. I dislike how close my neighbors are, and that parents at the schools are very inconsiderate of residents who live on the streets. There is a nice scene of things to do though.

I am in the developing area just outside German Village. I love the feeling of being over here because it affords a community neighborhood feel while still being in the city. The only thing I would really like to see change in the area would be more food-restriction friendly places (eg vegetarian options) like campus area has.
