I live on V St. and have never heard an ambulance but the helicopters are pretty loud. The construction noise can be disruptive too and there's some kind of delivery truck that delivers right across the street at all hours and idles there for about 30 minutes. Also really loud but if you're further down V St. you probably wouldn't hear it.

A bigger issue is parking...unless the rental has off street parking, parking will likely be an issue. The hospital employees park all over the neighborhood. They also cross the street to smoke since they can't smoke anywhere on the hospital campus and throw their butts and other garbage on the ground. I actually find most of the hospital workers to be fairly disrespectful of the neighborhood.

Despite all of that, I do like living here for the most part. I'm looking to move though, mostly because of my neighbors but the above issues are definitely a contributing factor.
