Commercial and manufacturing operations take up the majority of space in this mixed-use district, and residential zones occupy the northwest corner and run along the eastern edge. Large lots, tall trees, and lush landscaping lend a calm, spacious atmosphere to subdivisions where houses and apartments share the streets.

Strip malls, big-box stores, and stand-alone shops provide goods ranging from craft supplies to power tools. Eateries include everything from fast food to casual dining.

Many bike routes and wide roads for cyclists; many sidewalks make it easy for pedestrians to get around; lots of public transit and parking at train stations. I find it a very easy place to get around without a car.

Not a tourist area but there are many community events, weekly farmer's market, music and movies in the park etc. There are volunteer events in the community garden, parades and so on so it is nice for residents.

There are some areas safer than others, some places I would definitely avoid at night but overall, it is relatively safe and there are places to go if there is a problem. The city streets are well lit and walking from public transit to home feels safe. I know there is a crime rate and drug related crimes, some theft and vandalism in the area but it seems rather minor and I feel there is fairly good security. I often see police cars on patrol.
