10 years ago this was a great place to live and it was safe! Now is another story. As a senior citizen this place is NOT safe. Our apartment building is awful. The owners don't care and the police do nothing about the crime. We provide surveillance tapes of thefts and they do "O". The homeless are a major problem too.

I have lived here for a years and LOVE IT. Everything is walkable. Easy access to downtown. Very very safe! However, very expensive but the location is worth it!

In my immediate area, there aren't very many options unless you want to work in the service industry.
