I've lived here for 2 years and never thought of changing locations; close to campus and can walk if needed, maintenance is timely and rarely required, property manager responds quickly as well to all inquiries

Downtown Reviews

The downtown area is an area that is very easy to get public transportation. I didn't have to wait long to get the bus, so I was able to time it properly to get to campus. The problem here is that there are some homeless people who sometimes ask us for money, then another thing is that on weekend nights it is noisy outside the apartment because many people spend time around downtown at night.
The location is great; you can walk downtown and get to Market Square within 10 minutes. The T is also next door, so that is very convenient. However, over the past year, with the increased homeless population, the area is not safe anymore. Downtown has also gotten dirtier over the past year.
Right across the street from market square, down the road from a T station, a block away from the point. There is a church across the street that assists with unhoused people, but they never bother anyone.
Being on fifth and Forbes is not the cutest as compared to the cultural district but everything is within a 20 minute walk for restaurants and Ubers can get you anywhere within ten minutes.
Much safer than the news likes to say… i’ve never felt unsafe walking downtown day nor night. Just don’t walk down Smithfield at wee hours of the night and you will be great!
Downtown is a convenient place to live in relation to the school. The walk from the building to the school is less than 15 minutes.
In the middle of downtown. Close to some great restaurants and bars. About a 10 min walk to the Oakland-bound buses
The neighborhood seems to be very good. There are plenty of restaurants and it is close to campus.
