[quote=Anonymous][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. W[b]hen 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.[/b]

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]

I think that accurately described CH. College Park is working on throwing more town/neighborhood events and creating a town culture. The good thing is that because they have a commercial base the have the money for that sort of thing.[/quote]
