I’ve lived in HP for over a decade. My sense is that during that time, the neighborhood has improved considerably. Some of the apartment buildings on or near 9th Ave were pretty bad when I moved here and they’re much quieter now. AND I haven’t been woken up by SPD calling someone out of a nearby house at 6 am since 2002 (true story). Our immediate neighbors are really nice; one on one side of us grew up in the neighborhood and is a great guy. I like being near so much park and green space, not to mention a quick trip from White Center, Georgetown, the Junction, Burien, and the airport.
My husband and I will probably be moving within a year or so, but not because we don’t like the area. I’ve really liked living here and will miss it.
