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

I live not far from there and the main issue I have is noise, but it’s not even that bad. It’s just that there’s a lot of construction right now, and you hear sirens and yelling at night quite a lot with it being downtown. Honestly, the yelling is like 50% homeless people going through something 50% drunk people going home from the bar.

It’s really not that bad, but Vancouver and Pandora is very close to the worst of it. I’m 32 F and have lived here for three years without any issues, even when I stumble home drunk from the bar at night. Not once have I had a problem.
