The atmosphere is not to bad, it is located right across the street from a school so the neighborhood is flooded with children. The only problem is the amount of gun violence in the neighborhood.

I live in a high crime area, where the quality of life is not good.

Very unpredictable. Can be cold and rainy one day and warm the next. Nothing too drastic though.

I live close to OSU, but not close enough. The neighborhood is run down and there are constant gun shots. I cannot wait to move to the other side of town and the end of the lease.
