There’s a real sense of community in this neighborhood. People are settling here and making it home. It isn’t as transitory as some other areas that rely heavily on students.

I would describe the West End as a “Victorian Sesame Street.” It's a great diverse community with beautiful historic architecture, and there's plenty to learn from the warm and fuzzy people that live and work there.
