    "Colorado Blvd in Pasadena CA is the cross street with North Craig Avenue. Rose Parade is several feet’s away to watch every year. The Paseo Colorado mall is 1.5 miles away. Pasadena City College and community parks are all around. People are friendly and welcoming."

    "The elementary school is at walking distance. Great school, I went there when I was small and the area is good. I grew up in this area and there hasn’t been much changes in terms of safety. You can walk to the store and close to a laundromat also. "
