My grandparents built their house there post-WWII. My grandpa built an addition onto it. Those neighborhoods are mostly medium sized houses with good sized backyards and mature trees. I basically grew up there up to HS as my grandma kept us kids before and after school while our parents worked. The house was on the Philco cul-de-sac, just west of the tracks.

I think it will eventually gentrify a bit. The older generations are unfortunately passing away. The houses get left to the kids and grandkids. They either get sold or renovated. We are in that boat right now. I don't know if it'll ever be all young single couples, which will keep it from being hip. I think it'll remain a family neighborhood. It seems Ben White is as far south as many are willing to go.
