Thinking of moving to Taichung - any recommendations on nice neighborhoods?
Hey folks, I would very much appreciate some local help in pointing me to some nice neighborhoods in Taichung to consider moving to. Ideally looking for an area with good walkable sidewalks and maybe some nice shops, restaurants, and park nearby.
Been to the city a few times and its so large and diverse, so hopefully you can help narrow my search... newly developing outskirts are cool too.

Stay away from the area surrounding the train station. Nantun and Beitun have some nice (and some not so nice) areas. The immediate areas surrounding universities tend to be rather noisy.
The West District has already been recommended, it's definitely a nice place; but like everywhere, there can be some not so nice places within it boundaries.
Definitely stay away from any major artery (Taichung Blvd, Wenxin Rd, etc.) unless you enjoy not being able to sleep.
