    "There’s a basketball court inside a building near me and I believe that makes it special because the sport brings all people together and able to motivate each other to build a better future"

    "It’s coming up. Lots of new building, that means it’s getting gentrified, so I guess that’s a good thing but other than that it’s Not safe at night. Lived here for 37 years. "

    "This neighborhood is not as safe as it looks although the precinct and fire station is right across the street. Upside is there are a lot of things that are in walking distance and third Ave is a hop, skip and jump away. If your out during the day it is ok but late at night just be mindful of your surroundings"

    "the fact that some buildings don't accept dogs, some buildings are friendly with dogs some are not. I would also say having to walk the dogs to a nearby park they don't have a park close enough where they can take the dog out to play and where it does his business at "

    "Very close to Lincoln hospital, fire department and police stations. This should be a selling point for safety, however during the midday the area is full of drug addicts. And early morning and late night the sounds of sirens will wake up even heavy sleepers. "
