Our Take
The neighborhood has solid schools and a decent walk score, but its median home price and rent far exceed the average household income, making affordability a major concern. It offers good public transit and green spaces, yet crime rates are moderate and noise can be a factor. If you can stretch your budget or plan to rent, it might be workable, but consider other options first.
