   My wife played in the music festival a few summers back. Festival 
players are there most of the summer, so they tend to get apartments. 
Hers was in the closest to low rent part of town there is, and it was 
fine. It was also not hard to get to things, though she was across town 
from the meadow. Town just isn't all that big.
