great neighbors, location, and vibe in a major city with absolutely everything but still feels like a small town.

The general atmosphere of the neighborhood is okay. Often times there are a lot of children hanging out together and playing on the streets. There are times though where it might feel unsafe but it doesn't happen very often.
