Relocating -- North Kenmore Ave. (North of Franklin) (apartment, safe area)

[Hazeltine]

My husband and I are most likely going to be moving into an apartment in this neighborhood. I'm not from LA -- have spent a good amount of time in the LA area, but have never lived here.

Is Kenmore (North of Franklin, South of Los Feliz Blvd.) safe for a young woman (i.e., solo evening walks, very early morning jogging, etc.)?

Obviously the neighborhood itself is quite lovely but since I'm not from LA I don't really have a good sense of whether the look of the place is a good barometer for how safe it actually is.

Our friends live in the Los Feliz area and love it. I'm not too worried, personally, but I know my Mom is concerned because to her it's all "the city," so this is partially to ease her mind too.

It's a pretty safe area. East Hollywood is a bit rougher, but Los Feliz is an upscale neighborhood. North of Franklin is better than south of it. I think it's a cool neighborood. There's a lot of people who live there not from LA.

I'd also consider it a safe neighborhood. Los Feliz is arguably the single most desirable neighborhood within L.A. city limits. It has more to offer than any of the other upscale hoods.

Thanks so much for the input, guys! We're really excited to move there.

I have a cousin who lives there. He LOVES it. (And I love to visit him there. )
