There's lots of action happening in Mid-City these days. The swanky University Medical Center opened this weekend and, the Lafitte Greenway is just about complete. The latter is a really exciting endeavor that's already drawing big developments, like a mixed-used project from Sidney Torres IV and a big doggie day care. Property is going to be even hotter in that neighborhood than it already is, so we've mapped a few houses on the market that are close to the Greenway that you should probably consider buying right this second.
