"Here in Levy Park, you’ll find old folks and young folks, government employees and students, retirees and small business owners, writers, lawyers, 
The Crest of Levy Park on 7th Aveartists and musicians. We are gardeners and urban farmers, bicyclists, skateboarders, walkers and runners. We stroll to Publix, Lake Ella and the shops, eateries and taverns of Midtown. We love our pets, be they chickens, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters or lizards. We plant butterfly and rain gardens and we host potluck dinners, barbecues, wine-tastings, firepit bull sessions and yard sales. One of the city’s most vibrant and active African American churches – the Family Worship & Praise Center – anchors our neighborhood and serves as our polling place. We are neighbors, friends and families, and we look out for each other." - Levy Park Neighborhood website
The neighborhood is very proud of its Community Garden on 6th Ave and Aintree Lane, and its many residents who work at and own local business in the area.
