I live in the Highland Park district which is just north east of
downtown (and the 131 / 196 interection).  Highland Park is north of the
196 / College Ave exit.  It is very close to downtown but separated from
downtown by the 196 freeway valley and with only College Ave as a
through-way there is very little traffic.  Plus there is a higher than
average amount of green-space.

There are several apartment complexes in the district
