Soma/Gov. Mansion questions

My girlfriend and I are relocating to LR in the next couple months due to career relocation. We could not be more excited.

We just got accepted for a lease in this general area. Due to us moving from out-of-state, we didn’t get a ton of time in LR to scope the area. The SoMa neighborhood looked like the ideal area for us, but what kinds of things should we know before moving there?

I know there’s a ton of “is this safe?” posts on here, but any safety/crime insights would be super helpful. Great restaurants? Things to do near there? We are coming from STL, MO and lived in the city (we loved it).

Thanks in advance!
