Quiet versus safety at night

Other reviews contrast that with concerns about noise and nighttime conditions, including claims about poor lighting and feeling scared at night. One resident also describes disruptions that affect sleep, tied to activity from nearby residents. Taken together, the reviews suggest quiet is not consistent across everyone’s experience.
