Cedar Hill has always had the reputation of being a bad area. 15-20 years ago, perhaps it was, but now it's not that bad. You still see some characters and petty crime but it's really not much worse than anywhere else in the downtown, which is to say not very bad at all.

This.  The residents of the neighbourhood deserve a ton of credit for the work they've put in to help reshape this area

Indeed! I have had the chance to work with some of those folks and they have put a lot of time and energy in helping create the community it is today. I think it's unfortunate that its past 'reputation' is still held on to by many. I think it's a lovely neighbourhood with a wide variety of housing, amenities, transit options, and more. That's not to say there's no issues, I just think they tend to be overstated.
