My brother is considering buying in Avondale - near Fred Shuttlesworth Circle. I know we have some North Avondale folks on here. Thoughts on the general vibe in that neighborhood and more importantly, is there any potential for the neighborhood to get better over the next decade.

I grew up there. The area is decent it's most of the time pretty quiet and the park near Reading road and the tennis courts at the end of the street add a lot of character to the area. I'd say that the area is stable - it's a little odd through. I lived on the northern section.

South Shuttlesworth or North? The south circle is not so hot the closer you get to Reading. I had a cousin who lived in a big old Addams Family like one on the south circle, along with their 14 or so kids (many adopted). As noted above, the North end has the tennis courts and playfields (currently a mess as a staging area for construction of the new Montessori school). There was also a large house or two that XU students rented. That area is really more of a transition zone between North Avondale and Avondale proper.

Yeah, the Xavier students when I used to live there had a habit of having some pretty rowdy parties and would pee in your yard.
