I live in 78745, and it feels more central to me than those northern neighborhoods. The access to downtown from our neighborhood cannot be beat. I can ride my bicycle to downtown in as little as 20 minutes, traffic and weather permitting. I can see Crockett HS from our patio, ACC is a 5 minute bike ride, the library is only 2 minutes further.
Our street has gone through a demographic change. I grew up here with a lot of families with kids. Those kids are grown up now and moved away, and most of the couples here now are middle aged. Most of the older people have passed away. My grandparents lived next door, they both passed away, and there's a young couple there now who renovated the house. And the house across the street from that house, the lady there also passed away a few years ago. It was bought by a house flipper, renovated, and was recently moved into. So right now it seems the bulk of our neighborhood is young to middle aged. The houses are being restored/renovated and added onto. There aren't too many kids anymore. I can think of maybe 2 houses on the street that I know of with young kids.
