    "I use public transportation and it's overall reliable but often the buses run late. The commute to downtown is around 20-30 minutes. the neighborhood is mostly safe but not an area I recommend walking alone if you are unaware of spots that can be dangerous. Parking is difficult, especially after 5 pm. "

    "It can be loud on Park at night due to the bars/eateries, cars tend to drive very quickly. I don’t see many kids around, but I imagine that’s because they’re in their houses. Once you get farther from Park you’ll find more families."
