This apartment is in the good part of Encanto. Lots of good eateries. Definitely do not feel unsafe. No regular transients. Occasionally you will see them if you go on a walk, but none close to the apartment. Right by transportation. Located close to all the medical/business sector in midtown.
Across the street from my apartment is a very family friendly complex, so there are kids and families about. People walk their dogs around. Keep reading
Plaza 550
It's right across the street from Steele Indian School Park and the light rail stop. There are also many restaurants within walking distance, and all the shops on Camelback are only a short drive away.

The Station on Central
In the heart of the city, close to restaurants, parks and the I-10 freeway. Ideal location for any Phoenix CHC 2nd-4th year to have a 30 minute commute to any rotation site.

I feel very safe walking around the neighborhood, but I would be weary when walking around at night!

Unfortunately lots of displaced people walking the streets. Otherwise good area.

Parc Midtown
Right next to a fire department so the noise can be distracting. Lots of homeless people but that seems to be the norm. More industrial than I would like but still doable.

Nothing bad to say and no bad experiences. It isn't high-class, but as law students we shouldn't be living that way as-is! There are plenty of beautiful apartments with plenty of space in a much more affordable price range. Worth it!

Clarendon Park
The complex backs right up the the historic arts district, including the art museum, the opera, and a quaint neighborhood of beautiful houses. It’s also super close to the Safeway and to central ave.

Definitely get to see all kinds of folks. Great dining and bar options close by. Only a few mins from downtown if that's more your vibe.

Parc Midtown
Because we are so close to Central City (just north of I-10), we haven't felt much connection to the larger Midtown/Encanto neighborhood. But the encounter we have had have been wonderful

The Coronado
Right on the edge of downtown to the north, lots of development still happening. Seems safe

I don't feel safe walking after dark, and prefer to walk with someone else during the daytime, but it is very conveniently located.
