Our Take
This neighborhood has great walkability, transit, and dining options, plus a solid median income and a decent school rating. However, housing costs are high, crime is uneven, and noise levels can be a problem. It’s a solid choice for young professionals and students, but you’ll want to weigh the cost and safety before committing.
