Neighbors say hi when you see them & people are aware as to who should & shouldn't be around which is great from a safety perspective. The area is residential which makes it quieter & safer than more commercial areas. There are lots of trees and shopping isn't too far away. I do wish there were sidewalks to make walking safer & I also wish it was closer to a MAX station for the days I am going places where parking can be a chore (zoo, rose garden, downtown, pearl district). I am glad we decided on this area as it's a great place to relax & unwind at the end of the day.
