    "Cowen Park is nearby. Most places are dog friendly and you rarely see loose dogs. The streets are really busy though so be careful. "

    "U District Food Walk happens annually on The Ave (University Way NE). Convenient neighborhood for students since it is close to campus and public transit. Most apartment buildings tend to be on the older side (~20-30 years+). Overall good choice if you’re a student at UW. "

    "A mixture of college students, homelessness, and families. University of Washington keeps a bustle through the neighborhood during the school year. A difference of one block can move you from a college campus to a peaceful neighborhood. Lots of restaurants, shops and businesses at University Village with a quiet beautiful Ravenna Park just down the street. "

    "No space for dogs here no place to run or get exercise. Too expensive for the crime and drug problems seen every single day. Extremely loud in and out of home. Lots of loud students screaming and homeless people screaming in the middle of the night. Dirty and tons of vomit in ally ways. Many break ins in buildings. Neighbors turn blind eye to everyone. "
