School is only in session 8-3 five days a week, and even then only like ten months out of the year, rest of the time it's just an empty building with a community gym. There's a lot of plusses about that neighborhood, especially right by Madison. Lots of cool businesses bars and restaurants. I lived four blocks away for ten years and the only real hectic event I remember were big St Ed's games a few times a year, which can actually be kind of cool.

Like anywhere in Lakewood street parking is hit and miss. Taxes are what some people would consider high, and depending where you're coming from I've known people to complain about noise. Those are all things to consider anywhere in the city but I'd say that part of town is busier than most.
