Overall...

 Lawrence Manor is a great, inner suburban neighborhood to raise a family. Studying the neighborhood first hand, showed all that it has to offer. Although investments in the inner city are more common for large groups of developers, neighborhoods located beyond the immediate core are still being gentrified (Lehrer, 2009). Property owners are buying residential properties, making upgrades, and selling them for more money (Lehrer, 2009). Though current city strategies have a downtown focus, it is important to recognize that development within the inner suburbs would be a step closer to the inclusive 'creative city' strategy that the inner city has been luring (Noble, 2009).
