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.
Hey Im from and still live in that neighborhood, im on Jinx Ave.
