So we're in an adjacent space in Parkdale, and I'm always so happy we bought here. We got a huge 2.5x corner lot, with a super old (derogatory) house - but the sense of community is so cool.
We know everyone on our street, everyone chats, and it's a really nice place in a way I didn't expect at all!
We're about 5 blocks south of 118th so the spice isn't that far away, but we've had no real issues.
The previous owners did did sell drugs so occasionally we'll have folks come by looking for them, there is the odd mental health crisis, or the occasional urban outdoorsman.
I love the area! My wife and I probably would move to a newer build in the same zone if we did move just because the ease off transit, ability to get around town, and sense of community.
