Housing complexes south of Oltorf Street are the main stretch of affordable housing in the area, where younger professionals, working class young people, and students reside.

You can expect to see a lot of people from teenagers to 50-somethings on bicycles--it's a major hobby and preferred mode of transport within the area, given its location close to Downtown and convenient shopping and dining on South 1st.
