[geoff's two cents]

Indeed. We have good friends who live near Gage, and I was pleasantly surprised by the neighborhood. To be sure, it lacks many of the amenities we enjoyed in the Durand area (and it's a shame there isn't much going on directly adjacent to the park on Main), but it still had a lot of well-kept houses, trees lining the streets, etc. So I was told, however, there's an excellent second-hand bookstore in the area that I never did get a chance to check out. Hopefully I'll be back to the city and will have time kick around in that part of town.
