This is a large area with a widely varied assortment of land uses ranging from single-family homes to intensive commercial. It extends from Kiwanis to Grange Avenues and from 9th to 15th Streets. Housing conditions are generally good, and single-family residences predominate. Major impacts include encroachment pressures of commercial uses along 12th Street and Kiwanis Avenue. No major redevelopment sites are presently expected. Emerson Elementary School was closed in 1998; and the building and grounds were redeveloped with the neighborhood’s assistance into a neighborhood park.
