[quote=Anonymous]Another UP resident here and can echo the long response on page 1.

I think you should just listen to people who live in the neighborhood or who actually walk around here on a regular basis. It's easy for me to tell which PPs are utterly not familiar with UP and have only driven past it. I frankly don't know why they take the time to respond. I think UP is very unique in that it is completely surrounded by development and a more dense urban setting with all its amenities as well as challenges like crime but within the UP borders it feels like a different world. It is quiet, it is pretty, it is peaceful.

As for people who live here, it's diverse in many senses but I will say that it's predominantly white. People are friendly and open, and really value and take pride in being good neighbors. I am also shocked by how many people I meet who grew up in UP as kids, went to college and started careers, and then moved back to UP to raise their own families. I personally think this shows how much love and affection people have for this little town.

As others have mentioned, inventory is a challenge. Lots of pocket listings. Depending on your budget or how picky you are, you may not be able to buy on your desired timeline. When we were house hunting we included Calvert Hills but that neighborhood also has low inventory. Maybe it also has less of a cohesive neighborhood feel? I'm not sure. But I liked it because it has better metro and trail access.

I am completely biased obviously but I love it here. I think you will love it too, so good luck with your house hunt![/quote]
