Neighborhood is on the up. While I live off Grant - we do get noise from downtown (sirens, pedestrians, etc). There are some less attractive houses and properties that continue to be neglected or downright abandoned, but a lot of the previous slum-lord like property owners have lately off loaded or entirely sold. Some have cleaned up very nicely. This has gone with some tax breaks offered along with the next section below:

Grant Avenue parkway, bike path and shopping plans have provided a vision for the neighborhood to continue improving and increasing in value. Downtown has been expanding and touches the neighborhood. The biggest sign was the Kum and Go on Grant and Mount Vernon closing. So all that said, I’m sure other property management and large scale owners have come in where the previous ones left - only they are doing some massive renovations on some.

I actually have grown to like it over the past 5 years a lot. There’s a neighborhood group on Facebook that organizes events and cleanups etc
