    "Wonderful place to live. Within walking distance of beach, Broadway, Thames. Probably the best neighborhood in town."

    "I have had a secondary home in this neighborhood for about 9-years. It is a fun area for weekends with a variety of restaurants within waling distance. The walkability to the harbor and beach is ideal. I don't, however, feel this neighborhood would be good for a family with small children."
