There are a few groceries stores in the neighborhood that you can shop at as well as a family dollar that’s open till 10 pm. I believe it’s a good place to live and the families in the WoodLawn community are working families."

    "I’ve lived in Woodlawn for 6 years now and it’s gentrifying more and more. I’ve noticed rent prices increasing for very cramped apartments. I don’t mind a diverse neighborhood, I actually welcome it, but not at the expense of not being able to afford a 2 or 3 bedroom apartment on this side of town. Overall, my block is quiet and I love the area, but feel that I’ll be pushed out sooner or later. "
