East End — 7.3/10 Rating (based on 4 neighborhood reviews)
I love this neighborhood. There is a lot of space and more businesses are moving in. There's also a farmer's market every Sunday.

It is not the safest area but the apartment is secluded from the outside area, so I feel fairly safe but I take precautions to make sure that I'm ok.

Not a place you want to hang out in at night. Very close to a lot of stuff, but at the same time if you want anything other than some basics at kroger you’re gonna drive at least 5-10 minutes.
