Hampden is a classic neighborhood with a traditional blue-collar community.

As it has grown, it continues to grow in diversity professionally, ethnically, socioeconomically, culturally, class, etc. This area is also heavily community oriented. Young families, students, and professionals are drawn here because it offers the excitement of city life while also having a community/residential vibe.
