Watch out for
- Street parking can be limited on the most desirable blocks, especially near downtown and the university.
- The area is largely residential, so nightlife, late dining, and convenience retail are limited within the neighborhood itself.
- If you want a very quiet stay, some streets closer to Nassau Street and town center will feel busier than the deeper residential blocks.
