    "Community gatherings and activities are what stand out from other places. Very accessible to public transportation and local businesses. Nice place to live if you don’t mind the street noise at night."

    "Nothing really they hold a block party on bell street but it’s not the whole neighborhood and I wish people were more open and friendly. I have lived in Seattle for over twenty years so I have watched it change over time "

    "Great if you work downtown and don’t have a car. Food can be delivered at all hours. I’ve been here 3 years and the area has become significantly more sketchy and unsafe since then. "

    "I have lived in this community for three years and I love it but it is very expensive once you pay for your apartment, parking, and storage so we are trying to find a more affordable space or at least one that does not require parking and storage fees."

    "This area is quiet and safe, but close to all the good restaurants and bars in Belltown, an easy walk to downtown offices, and near the Olympic Sculpture Park and museums. Hilly but manageable. Great for someone new to Seattle."
