    "It's a quiet, crime free, and friendly neighborhood. With Bryan Park, Lakeside Ave, & the Interstate all within blocks, you have the convenience of endless outdoor recreation, shopping ,dinning, & can be any where in the city in 15 minutes. When I bought my home here 17 yrs ago, I purchased new friends, a sense of community, and a comfortable lifestyle."
