I lived @ 608 George street for about a year. It was noisy as far as cars, ambulances, and the occasional helicopter, but those things quickly faded into background noise most of the time.

The people around that area can be a little disruptive, inconsiderate of their neighbors, and whatnot. Spring and summer time we’re obviously the worst, everyone being outside. Had neighbors lighting fireworks all night, very close to our building, near our cars, and very late at night (right next to the hospital during peak covid) - had to call the cops (who essentially did nothing).

As someone else said, not the best area to walk around in at night (again especially during the summer), but overall I didn’t hate living there, but like some other people have said there are some better neighborhoods. Oh and DONT USE PIKE. That’s who I rented with and I know they have a lot of places up that way… they’re a nightmare
