One of the most popular neighborhoods for young, urban professionals, the 12 South District is the up-and-coming place to live and socialize. The home styles range from renovated bungalows and 1920s cottages to new construction lofts and horizontal property regimes with a modern flair and updated finishes. Many thriving restaurants, shops, and bars call 12 South home, including MAFIAoZA’S, Rumours Wine Bar, the 12 South Tap Room, and Burger Up.
Only a few blocks from the 12 South neighborhood, the Waverly Place Historic District remains one of the city’s most charming urban areas with pockets of classic homes woven between 8th and 10th Avenue South, extending to the borders of Berry Hill. Craftsman Bungalows and Tudors are nestled next to brick cottages, foursquares, and other frame homes dating from the 1890s to the early 1940s. Home prices are typically a little lower than those found in the 12 South area. The Antique District and Zanies Comedy Club on 8th Avenue South are some of the notable commercial highlights of the area.
