    "Has many families in the area. There are neighborhood parties at the end of the summer. People get out and walk or run. Lots of families with kids from all ages, but you'll also find people who are just a couple and their kid is their dog! It's a great neighborhood to live in cause its walk-able to nyc transportation being bus or train. Lots of new shops that has come into town in the past couple of years that give a nice flavor to dinning. Or if you want you can quickly get to other towns from here! I don't do much of the nightlife so I really can't rate that good or bad. That's something you'll have to check out for yourself. :)"
