    "They would like that there’s lots of places to walk your dog. The yards are also quite large which makes it a great place for the dogs to be."

    "Not all neighborhoods have sidewalks for walking and not a lot of trash receptacles for poo. Also see people have dogs in their yard off the leash. So that can be a little scary depending on the dog’s behavior. "

    "It's a beautiful area and well maintained. You are "in the city" but get that "countryside" feel. I feel super safe here and it's a great place to raise a family. Everything you need is nearby but without all the hustle & bustle and without so much crime. I do wish that there were a few more time windows for bus transit's BUT the upside of there not being a constant line of buses is that it is what helps the city be so safe in MY OPINION. Independence is a fabulous place to call home."

    "It’s a really safe neighborhood for kids to play in their yards and take walks around the neighborhoods where I live. I am a young adult and I often take night walks around the neighborhood and I have never once felt unsafe. The people are always friendly though people tend to keep to themselves. "

    "Independence is a great suburban area for raising a family but there’s not much of a night life here there aren’t many nice restaurants and all the homes are the same and value design over uniqueness and functionality but you are next to good school districts and stores"

    "No there’s not much to say about independence it’s a lovely little town for the right type of people. Someone who wants to settle down and wants to experience all four seasons.That being said there’s not many unique homes out here there all cookies cutter homes that focus on design instead of quality functionality and uniqueness. Altogether it’s a neighbor hood for a certain type of buyer there’s a lot of Restaurants and schools."

    "People have a lot of dogs and take care of them. You rarely see a stray and if a dog gets loose everyone is willing to help get them back to their home. Not ideal if you don’t like barking because there are a lot of dogs. 😂"
