Hi Todd, we live on 28th between Webster & Othello and LOVE the neighborhood. While, of course, I’m biased:), we’re often commenting on how quiet it is. Since we’re just over the hill, we don’t hear 35th and we’re far enough up we don’t hear Delridge. The hospital has been a non-issue. We’ve got parks within 2 blocks on either side of us and we have a great neighborhood association. We’d love to have you check it out! Best of luck…oh, and we’re definitely not scary (though we try to be at Halloween).
