Because it’s in the medical center, many people around here are healthcare workers so it’s a nice, safe neighborhood. You will hear the ambulances driving through very often which is one downside. It’s right next to the bayou and Herman park so there’s nice walking/running trails.

Vantage Med Center
There are a lot of medical students and personnel that live in the complex, so it's not unsafe, but there have been reported shootings around the area and within the complex in the past year. The complex is close to many grocery stores and there are busy streets, but there is not too much traffic in the mornings. A lot of traffic on the way home.

The neighborhood is 100% familiar. You'll need to drive around 10-15 mins to get to restaurants or bars.

It is in a pretty safe area I would say; walking distance to Hermann park-- it's literally our backyard! The zoo is a 5 minute walk. You do have to drive to find places to eat...not far, but still around a 8 or 10-minute drive!

About as good as it gets in the TMC. People here are fine, but they don't know how to take out their own garbage or pick up after their dogs. Safety is comparatively swell. Close to Rice Village which is nice.
