The neighborhood hasn’t had any issues. It is full of students from Northeastern, MCPHS, MassArt, and Wentworth. They do seem to always be doing road work next to my apartment and there are some characters walking around at night but we haven’t had any poor encounters.

In Mission Hill there is an abundance of student housing and student from numerous local colleges live on the Hill. With this, there are definitely areas in the neighborhood that potentially have noise issues or are more "college" than the area I have lived in. In my experience the only noise is the cars passing on the street and sirens which is to be expected given how close we are to so many hospitals. In the evenings on Friday and Saturday there are areas more towards the bottom of the hill that are louder due to the parties taking place but I have never experienced this type of noise when in my apartment. I feel very safe walking around in the neighborhood and enjoyed my time in the area. There are a few parks on the hill that are good spots to do some work outside, read, or play spike ball with some friends when the weather is nice.

Its fine, close to public transit. I wish there were more parks and grocery stores but it is safe and there is a close gym.

Mission hill has all the important things within walking distance- restaurants, grocery stores, public transit, parks. It feels very safe. The biggest downside is there are a lot of undergrads who live here and they like to throw parties on weekends.

Not as convenient/walkable as my previous neighborhood (the south end). But I like the residential feel. A little too young though with all the undergrad universities in close proximity.
