    "It’s a different neighborhood than it was just a few years ago. I think it works a best for people who leave the area for the day and if they go out they also leave the area for that and just stick around on the weekends. Then is very tolerable. "

    "Lived here 2007 to 2021. Lots of fun for nightlife, outdoor activities, arts scene. Very central location: 10mins to Echo Park, Silverlake, West Hollywood. 15mins to Burbank or the mountains. 30mins to the beach. Areas are very mixed demographics from one block to the next. Street parked cars often have break-ins. Sidewalks are broken and cars speed through residential streets. Not great for a family."
