    "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 difference of one block can move you from a college campus to a peaceful neighborhood.
