    "They would love the acceptance of dogs in the area. Also the warm embrace most neighbors including children. Just have to remember to be prepared for dogs bowels movements. Also being sure to keep dogs on a leash. Sometimes the dogs don’t get a long when first meeting. "

    "Not too many dog walkers. Just clean up after your dog. The neighborhood is clean. Not too many areas to walk the dog and let him do his or her business though. Quiet respectful neighborhood. Friendly people. Clean and safe neighborhood. Always kept up. Children play outside so make sure that your dog is well trained and won't harm the children. The children are very friendly towards dogs and cats. Neighborhood is nice and you would like it...."
