  • a father leaving Oceanview
    "Because this area is populated by students from around the world it is a pretty good place fir children to grow exposed to more cultures. But as this. Of course selects for families who are economically and geopolitically capable of attending an elite institution- the diversity is shallow. It has lately due to institutional policy changes become less family friendly and more young, dog owning couples that dint respect the commons. "
  • Lcflanagan

  • Bhuvana.tandur156

  • Hector C.
    "I've been here for a year already and the neighborhood is quiet and close to a diverse set of amenities."
  • Dwighthford
    "The number of families connected to UCB which used to bring welcome economic and cultural diversity is dropping as UCB housing authorities have apparently decided that the revenue generated from undergraduates with ‘service’ pets is better than the revenue generated from non-traditional students. So the flavor of the neighborhood has changed in the last 5 years "

    "Solano stroll, As You Wish block movie, live music, music in the park, movies in the park, dinner on Solano, Solano morning street pick up, Cornell community events for school, Halloween on Solano, etc. etc."
  • Trinitykel
    "I've lived here 10 years. Neighbors are incredibly friendly and you can be as involved or uninvolved as you want. We have a block party every year with great participation. There is remarkable racial, ethnic, religious, socio-economic and sexual orientation diversity. We have a new group of young and school age children so the neighborhood is alive with the sounds of children."
