    "There are quite a few things to do in this area but it’s not kid friendly. It’s for a younger crowd that wants to stay close to activities and the party scene."

    "Nobody picks up after their dogs here. If you move here with your dog please make sure you bring bags to pick up their poop; nobody should have to worry about dog poop on the sidewalk but here we are"

    "Car is needed. You can get by for a few days not owning a car. Easy to walk to UAB. Great cafes and night life but hard to get to a grocery store without a car."

    "This is a college neighborhood, not a family neighborhood. It's important to many UAB students to find housing in this neighborhood because of the convenience. It's not family friendly in my opinion."

    "I have lived here for one year and I work at UAB. I walk to work in 10 minutes while passing beautiful old houses and shops. Nightlife, restaurants, and many more things are just a short walk away. Gas prices mean nothing to me. Great location!"
