"I've only lived in the neighborhood for about a year...Wasn't sure I'd care for living in this area but it quickly grew on me. The neighborhood is considerably quiet for the most part (dependent on location of course.) Theres a wide range of age groups that reside here, and majority of those residents are very friendly. This is definitely a dog friendly area. I appreciate the dog clean up stations you can find all around the neighborhood. Most bars are dog friendly or have a dog friendly patio with dog water bowls and sometimes treats. I do wish there were more public trash cans throughout the neighborhood. There is often trash scattered throughout the streets. Each time I've seen trash collector trucks they have trash flying out the back of the truck. wish someone would do something about that. There's usually more foot traffic than you'd find in other neighborhoods, it's a very walkable area, and I have yet to have any issues walking from a to b regardless of time of day or night. The only uncomfortable encounters I've had on walks is with the off duty police that are hired to patrol the neighborhood. They've followed me home a few times. It exclusively comes off as creepy when they circle the block 5 or 6 times, on every single block I walk down to get where I'm going. Overall I enjoy living here, mostly because of the walk ability and dog friendliness. "

"there is a great park and several community gardens. there is a boys and girls club. there are a couple schools in the neighborhood. "

"Soulard can be family friendly - just be cautious of homeless loitering around, cars driving by and not paying attention to speed and stop signs. "

"Location to nightlife and restaurants is unbeatable. Never feel unsafe at night, and there are always cool events going on"
