sorry but I have to disagree with you completely. It's an alright area, I lived there for over 2 years, but trendy by no means. It is pretty safe, and there is groceries, the mall, liquor, beer and 7-11 all close by. I really liked that aspect.
as per the local stores / bars if you are portuguese you will be treated well, if you are not you will get shit service. Hate to be racist or whatever but it is the truth. Except for a handful of establishments such as the Lakeview diner where the service is generally slow for everyone, but the food is good.
The steetcar always tends to be crowded.
We payed 14 hundread for top two floors of a victorian, three bedroom, tow living rooms, two kitchens and a large deck.
