K.T.
Cathy,
I too, live in the area you are talking about. I love this neighborhood and my children attend Montclair and O'Banion. It is an older neighborhood, and is very diverse. I do like the Firewheel area as well, but as with new and upcoming areas, it is out of our price range. It's really up to you. If you are comfortable living in an older home, then this is place for you. If you want new, up and coming, then N. Garland is for you. It's all about your budget. I've really enjoyed the schools over here and it's very convienient for us. HTH! :)
