I lived in Fairmount/Art Museum section for two years (directly across from the Peniteniary/Jack's), and a few months ago moved to Queen Village.

I like the outdoors, so being close to Fairmount Park was great, but I disliked the all too frequent car break ins, beggars, and tourist traffic in that area.

QV/BV area IMO has a much more neighborhood-like feeling, which is something I value. With the weather getting nicer, I see many people hanging out on their front stoops. To me, it seems a bit safer. I also prefer the proximity to Old City, Center City, Italian Market, and Coumbus Blvd shopping from the Queen Village location.
