Yes, I often think about growing older (and disabled - I have liver disease) in this beautiful neighborhood. I have a big old monster near the corner of 49th and Cedar, and I imagine it will be just too much to upkeep. I am in my 40's now, not nearly ready to retire even, and yet still I wonder... I wonder will the neighborhood still be the same. Will all those wonderful places you mentioned even still be there? I have made plans to accomodate a couple of grad students, or visiting professors (rent a couple rooms, you know?) to assure I will be able to keep up the mortgage and the bills and the upkeep. That way, who knows, maybe I can "age in place" as they say, and still be able to keep my head above water. It's a good idea for anyone in a huge house, but I guess its also just a matter of whether a person wouldn't mind sharing space. I have often passed that 48th and Springfield house and wondered who lives there and whether it was a private home. I have also pictured me in it a number of times... Who knows, the lucky owners may decide to do something like what you said in the future, and someone like me would be on the waiting list to move on in.
