East Side, Fox Point.

You know what I love about it here? The wildlife! I regularly see squirrels (duh!) but nearly as often rabbits. On walks I see turkeys, chipmunks, raccoons, and ground hogs. More rarely opossums. Twice I saw a pair of wild minks, and once an otter 🤗

Lots of old established trees. It really doesn't feel like any city I've ever lived in (unlike the Silver Lake neighborhood, or Federal Hill 😣). Yet I can walk downtown in about 20 mins (or be there in 10 riding one of those accursed scooters lol)

Safety: I'm female. Never felt unsafe. Car break-ins happen. Even home break-ins (far more rare these days). But on the whole, the East Side is extraordinarily safe for a city.
