"All dogs I have seen are on a leash and the dog owners always pick up after their pets. Friendly and polite neighbors. "

"The schools are not the best but I think they are workable. There is a fairly new YMCA with swimming, full gym, and fitness classes. Also we have a library close by. "

"Too many dogs here, and people don't keep them on their leashes."

"My neighborhood has great potluck dinners. We also have a happy hour that rotates among the homes, and everyone loves it. At Christmas, almost all the neighbors decorate their homes and trees at the curbside, and at night it looks like a winter wonderland!"

"There are many elementary and middle schools in the area, and child safety is a big goal around my neighborhood. We not only have school zones in place, but crossing guards to make sure everyone gets across the busy streets safely."

"I lived on Neans drive for two years before buying a new home. The street itself is relatively quiet and the neighbors were friendly. It was relatively diverse and most of the homes were well maintained. Unfortunately the neighborhood quickly deteriorated if you travelled two blocks in any direction. Gang violence was commonplace. There was a shooting at our daughter's bus stop. Late at night you'll be regaled by roaming bands of youths competing for the loudest rap/Tejano music from a car. Every morning we'd find trash on our front easement. Twice we had to chase transients out of our shed in the backyard. The police helicopter was a regular visitor and you're regularly treated to a show of the police chasing someone. Sometimes right through your yard. The nearest grocery store is filthy. Restaurants were fast food or 'Mom & Pop' store fronts of varying quality. Traffic is a nightmare and it seems that every driver on Lamar is competing for the title of 'Worst Driver in Austin'. The schools are laughable. We pulled our daughter out and home schooled one year. The second year she was accepted into an AISD magnet school and was bussed there and back. Be prepared for constant bullying, unless your kid is the bully. "
