In terms of amenities it's wonderful to live in the centre, but it's also very busy and not accessible by car. Public transport is excellent. I never feel comfortable walking alone late at night because of all the homeless people and creepy individuals. There should be much more green space in the centre for my liking. It could be so much better. We do have a very nice green courtyard at the apartment complex.
