We visited recently and found Old Southwest very appealing - and we are definitely looking for a neighborhood with a strong community atmosphere.

I don't live there but am quite familiar. Old Southwest continues to be a popular neighborhood. It is the essence of diverse and eclectic with big houses, small houses, garage apartments, and modest apartment buildings. A little piece of the area lies north of Elm Avenue and there has been gradual change there but south of Elm Avenue is probably more "desirable" in most eyes.

If you are looking for homogenous suburbs, you won't want Old Southwest - but for a well situated urban neighborhood it is awesome.

Most of the restaurants are north of Elm Avenue - in or close to downtown - but Evie's Bistro is an awesome neighborhood restaurant.
