UChicago is currently building a south campus and the area may get a lot more undergrads, but for the time being it is very quiet with virtually no traffic. The area is patrolled by both the Chicago and UChicago police, so its very safe. The Obama Library and Tiger Woods golf course are soon to be built, so the neighborhood is adding some amenities outside of Robust Coffee. The current golf course isn't that bad in its current state and the beach along Jackson Park is also surprisingly nice. Woodlawn is great especially if you live north of 63rd and east of Cottage Grove. This is essentially the good part of East Woodlawn, but West Woodlawn will need some work. There is virtually no nightlife or great restaurants, but Daley's is amazing if you like a neighborhood diner feel. Though the green line doesn't have a proper station the train is always parked there with its doors open so you don't have to stand in the cold and wait for the train to leave.
