I used to live in Belltown from 2011 to 2017. One of the things I liked living in Belltown is having a close access to the central waterfront. When I leave my apartment in the morning, I could smell ocean breeze. Walking down to the waterfront park is nice in the afternoon to watch a beautiful sunset. Easy access to buses are also nice thing about living in Downtown.
Belltown is not a good neighborhood to live in, despite it being the most affordable part of the city. There's crime and homelessness everywhere and the streets are filthy. Don't waste your time here.
Overall, I love living in Belltown. I am literally within walking distance to almost everything I need. I have met so many people (and dogs!) and there is always something fun going on or somewhere cool to hang out. My only complaint about Belltown is the unsavory characters that often congregate in the neighborhood, but for the most part I always feel relatively safe.
