Certainly the south end, the area south of South St. would not be considered grungy, but, well yes, the area between South St. and Quinpool is not grungy either but still, it has a high percentage of students in cut-up houses and older, rather squat apartment buildings traditionally occupied by mostly students, who, typically are somewhat 'impoverished'. All this aside, I've wondered how long this area can resist heavy re-development given its central location.
