    "I haven’t notice unleashed dogs roaming in a while now. It’s a semi-pet owner neighborhood. Most owners walk their dogs in the medium. "

    "It’s a nice place for families. Neighbors are very supportive. Beautiful and affordable homes. Brick homes with fireplaces and hardwood floors. Trader Joe’s about a mile away. There’s also a Kroger‘s and three Starbucks. Just 6 miles to downtown. Not far from the waterfront. Unsure about the schools."

    "Most people are responsible and pick up after and take care of their dogs. There are some stray dogs or dogs that are not secured, They are either able to get out, breakthrough fences and escape, or their owners are letting them out, and they roam the neighborhoods sometimes and they put other dogs and people at risk. Not a whole lot but it happens from time to time. That’s the only negative."
