For our fourth walkabout we went to the neighborhood between 1200 E to 1300 E and 100 S to 200 S. This is right below campus and a perfect place for student and professors to live. I met my group there because I had class right before, and loved quietly walking around the neighborhood admiring the freshly fallen snow.
This was a very unique neighborhood because the east side, closer to campus, there are apartment buildings and houses for students, and then as you get further from campus there are grand houses in all shapes and sizes. We saw a lot of bungalows and victorian style homes that I could really imagine some of my professors living in.
I loved the different colors of the houses and would love to live here someday! The houses were set back from the rode a ways, and even though everything was covered in snow, you could tell that the yards and houses are well kept and that it is a nice neighborhood.
It is conveniently close to campus and has restaurants, banks, gas stations, and even a pharmacy one block away. There is also a park with tennis courts and a play ground kiddie-corner to the block.
I am glad that this class made me take the time to notice this neighborhood so close to where I live. It is somewhere where I now want to live before I finish college.
