Thanks in advance for any/all insights!Įdit: THANK YOU GUYS for all the great info! This is so helpful. I'm sure I could come up with more, but this seems like plenty for now. How is traffic/commuting, primarily to downtown? What happens if our future kids don't get into Fairview? What's the next best option? (I'd prefer public schools, and carpooling/bussing is OK, but I'm open to other ideas too.)

But also practical stuff like CVS and Ace Hardware, dinner at Ambar and La Poste, and maybe me working from the library or Sitwell's on occasion.) Will we actually do this, or are we deluding ourselves? We have this picture of ourselves walking to the Ludlow business district all the time. Is living on a street with lots of rental properties problematic, or a non-issue? Is there any talk of Duke burying the power lines at some point in the future?

Is flooding an issue? (I'm guessing not, but I'm paranoid because my childhood home has flooded more than once and it's such a pain.) If friends come over for dinner and park on the streets, will their cars be at risk for break-ins? (Or is that primarily in CUF?) Is there a dog run anywhere close by? (Maybe in Mt. If we ended up south of Ludlow (like on Howell or Terrace) would we be listening to hospital/emergency sirens all the time? What would you say are the most and least desirable streets? I would love to know any/all pros and cons that you guys can think of.īut I will also ask a few specific questions to help get the ball rolling. So, current and recent citizens of Gaslight Clifton, may I pick your brains about living there as a couple or young family in a single family home? My husband and I are strongly considering buying a house in this neighborhood. But (1) a lot of it is outdated, and (2) a lot of it is geared toward renters. The Gerdsen Company’s properties are all within walking distance of business district and neighborhood attractions.įor more community and business information on the Clifton Gaslight District, visit the website sponsored by the Clifton Town Meeting.Hey peeps, I've searched for - and read - everything about Gaslight Clifton in this subreddit's history.
