The neighborhood is home to many historic landmarks and parks including Fort George built by George Washington during the Revolutionary war because it has the highest natural hill in the city.

The area is nice and its very kid and pet friendly. It can get noisy in the summer, just like other areas of the city. As far as crime in the area I would suggest looking at the crime statistics report for the area.
