Like many neighborhoods in large cities, crimes against people and property can occur at any time and crime rates can vary from street to street and day to day. As always, check recent crime statistics to make an informed decision on any neighborhood you are considering living in or visiting.

Although the MAC train is a draw, potential residents should consider the noise levels prior to making a commitment to the neighborhood. Overall, it may be a neighborhood worth considering, especially if you can get a deal on a “row home” that needs some tender loving care.
