Vassor Village ... Since April 2010
Pro : We're the second owners of the house and it was built in 1941. Only needed cosmetic updates; tearing up carpet, getting through three layers of wallpaper, etc. Underneath it all we found a sturdy structure and perfect hardwood floors. Huge backyard, ample on-street parking, perfect neighbors who take pride in their properties. We keep each other informed about incidents and make sure CPD knows about them as well. I'm all about the Block Watch.
Cons : A few vacants and overgrown lawns due to foreclosure. Piece of crap cars flooring it between stop signs. Bad kids from the rentals on Frebis Ave. CPD chopper on a regular basis.
We're not bothered about proximity to shopping. We head over to the Brewery District for groceries, German Village for a cup of coffee, etc. Ideally we would have loved to live in Clintonville but it was a tad out of our price range. Our house has tons of charm and so be it that it's in the "south end". I know east of Parsons Ave gets a bad rep and for good reason. It's coming around, though, one house at a time.
I agree, East of Parson is changing for the better. From your neighbor
