    "I’ve lived in this area for 18 years, looking to buy another house and will stay in the neighborhood. Calm neighborly feel where you can sit outside and watch the sunset, walk the dog safely without too much traffic , but within walking distance of major shopping centers, grocery stores, the airport is very close by , the freeway is easily accessible, and the schools are great.
