There's nothing unsafe about The Slopes, and some of the streets are insanely convenient to catch a bus over to Oakland. Be cautious of structural issues with houses here and be ready to deal with steep narrow streets and bad parking (though that applies to Greenfield as well!)

I adore my neighborhood and think it's a fantastic place to live with good access to many amenities and a really unique charm. I looked at places in both neighborhoods when I was buying a few years back. If you have more specific questions feel free to message me!
