    "My neighborhood has great access to public transit, and is only 7 min from downtown. It’s walkable and has a wonderful variety of coffee shops, restaurants, and parks within a short distance. "

    "There are children around but only by necessity as rent is very cheap here. It is absolutely not friendly, one of the most dangerous areas in Spokane. Prolific trash and dumping, as well as a very heavy homeless population. There are obvious signs of drug use, as well as public drug use sightings increasing. People drive extremely fast and recklessly depending on the road. Not a place for children."

    "There are a lot of dogs here. Some people clean up after their dogs. Some dogs are loose because of homeless population. Not a family friendly area."

    "Can be questionable at night because we are so close to the freeway, but lots of kids in the neighborhood and a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. "

    "Up-and-Coming area. Noticing daily, it seems like there's more and more homes in the process of gentrification, or a new family is moving in. There are some really great folks who live in the area. Excited to see what East Central will look like in the next 3 years - in the mean time, I'm going to enjoy my life here."

    "besides traffic, which I've mostly gotten used to, it's a very quiet neighborhood (at least on our street). I've heard mixed things about the area, but what seems to be most true is the fact that it really can change from street to street, like drastically (or so I hear). I did not grow up in Spokane, so I don't know every area, but I love where I live currently."

    "East Central is very hit or miss, one block is nice, the next is really bad, and so on. There can be a lot of police activity depending on the street too."

    "I have lived in the South Perry District since 1996. I moved to Spokane from the Bay Area and I really love this area. It has the feel of downtown Berkley, and the comfort of May berry. I have 3 kids and it has been a great area to raise my kids. Our neighbors are great. We take walks throughout neighborhood and love seeing our neighbors out and about. Great place to raise a family."
