"Other than the occasional item stolen from an unlocked car, this is a pretty safe, low crime area. Neighbors don't go out of their way to talk to each other, but I also haven't noticed any unpleasantness in the 5 years I've been here. It's been a good place to live. "

"People walk their dogs all the time and there are big, fenced yards. But there are also plenty of dogs running loose that can create a hazard. "
