The listing noted that the area was IN an up & coming neighborhood. But, when my son & I arrived...the immediate neighborhood, looked a little down & out. The place itself is BEAUTIFUL, once you're inside. But, I was with a 10-year-old boy and I wasn't 100% certain about how safe the neighborhood was. I think it's more accurate to state that just 3 blocks away, is the up & coming neighborhood. It was slightly misleading...because we weren't IN that neighborhood, we were close by.
