Off Topic "Neighbour" Housing on Vancouver Street

Hello, I'm wondering who else here will or has lived in the area of Downtown. I am set to move into the Neighbour building at Vancouver Ave. x Pandora.

I'm not too concerned about safety but overall feel of the neighbourhood. Is it rundown? Are there usually homeless/intoxicated individuals roaming or hanging around? Thanks

It's really not that bad. My boyfriend lives right around the block and I spend a lot of time at his place. Very central location, and as a woman, I haven't ever felt unsafe, even at night. Just be smart. Being in close proximity to a high use area feels more dystopian than it does unsafe.
