I live downtown and love it. I find the public transit is super convenient (you definitely need a car but I take public transit whenever possible). There are lots of good restaurants, bars, museums, etc. It's definitely a quiet area compared to any other city I've lived in, but I feel very safe.

Agree with this comment. I loved mostly on the rougher side of the north end most of my life ( 28 yo) recently moved downtown as of last year and it’s night and day difference. I can actually enjoy being outside and walking around. There aren’t any good convenient stores and the rent is astronomically high but it’s worth it for the safety.
