There are still a few older, well kept single and multiple family residences along the street. It's hard to tell without hanging out in the neighborhood which homes are occupied by students and which still hold Corryville families, but that is likely to be a non issue over the next decade. Burnet Ave. is one of the street's that led the way in taking the neighborhood into its U.C. student/medical people friendly future. If you fit that mold, than the street is and will be a perfect place for you to live and work.
