| Downtown
offers the amenities of a well-established neighborhood - florists,
health clubs, a library, child care centers, schools, churches,
travel agencies and parks - and the advantages of a thriving
urban center - universities, arts and entertainment districts,
restaurants, professional sports and shopping.
A comprehensive public safety program produces results: The
total crime rate in Downtown has gone down 62% since 1990, and daytime crime has gone down 21% since 2004. Combined
with a cost of living that compares favorably to other U.S.
metro areas, Downtown is the premier choice for your corporate
or residential address.
