Neither apt is in a high crime area and Im sorry if I gave this impression - instead they are kind of hipster vs hippie hang out areas. Nonetheless, the one is very funky. One is in NW a few blocks from Good Sam on a nice street. It is basically a nice box with wood floors - there is no outdoor space. The advantage of this is that I could walk a block for coffee or dinner or whatever. It would offer all the best of downtown living, with a bit more sophistication than the funkshack. The fshack is in Sellwood on the river away from the bridge. It has that wonderful feel with lots of light and decks. It feels private, but its not. However, it is away from the main neighborhoods. It is about 9 blocks from the main street (Tacoma). It is also urban living, but with a twist and more pop.
The NW place is small at 550 sq ft, and most of my living I imagine would be done on the street - restaurants, coffee shops, etc. You know, the city life. The fshack is larger, lighter, more livable, but less convenient, etc.
Hey. Thanks for talking to me aabout this.
