Nice place to live, if not overly exciting(has lived here)

University South is a large neighborhood, so its qualities vary as you move up and down the streets. Most residents, frankly, are yuppies, but despite the negative connotations this term often carries with it, the area is generally a friendly one. Of course, there are a number of publicly snobby and rude people, but I imagine the same can be said for most wealthy neighborhoods around the country. The number of young families in the area is rising, so if you are thinking of raising a family here you won't be alone. Furthermore, the schools in the city are excellent and no matter where you're living in the neighborhood you're sure to be close to a store where you can buy most things that you need, be it Whole Foods or Longs Drugs.
