Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 16:12, 12 September 2019 (UTC).
- Epicgenius, all four hooks meet DYK standards; however, I prefer ALT2 since it alludes to all phases of the neighborhood’s past. This article is confirmed as being a recent Good article, of the necessary length, and it is well-sourced with verifiable references. A QPQ has been completed. — West Virginian (talk) 10:26, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

, per my review statement above, this article meets DYK criteria and is good to go. I apologize for omitting the tick! BlueMoonset, thank you for the notification, and Epicgenius, sorry for the delay! -- West Virginian (talk) 12:32, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but a "bot medic" has identified footnote 45, the source for the expensive housing, as a dead link. Yoninah (talk) 23:11, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- Yoninah, these aren't dead links anymore. If they were, now they lead to the NY Times' TimesMachine website. epicgenius (talk) 23:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
