"I live right near Arlington, a bus line, so that's really nice. but getting anywhere past the river that isn't downtown is 40+ minute commute; 30 minutes if the busses line up (rare, & if you expect it, the 48 WILL be late to the nearest transfer bus) and could be over an hour if it's not on another bus line or it's away from oakland, greenfield, etc. I recommend private transportation if you have anyy debilitating reasons you don't choose to walk. but if you love to walk, the slopes are perfect commute-wise.

"I haven’t lived on the south side before, but I’ve been there shopping and visiting friends who have lived in the neighborhood, and always thought it to be friendly, and has a very cozy feeling to it"
"There’s Always dogs out or someone walking there dog . People are nice and some times clean up after there dogs. Dogs are usually always nice I don’t remember coming across a mean dog"
"There is a very nice dog park for small and large dogs. There are coffee shops and restaurants in the area that allow dogs. There is a very clean and respected veterinary clinic. One of the biggest negatives is the lack of yards and grass in the area. There are hiking trails and a huge park that we often take our own dog too at the top of the slopes. "
