    "I have lived in this area for 1 month now and I feel very confident walking my dog. There are a lot of dog owners in the area. But people don’t say hello on the street when you meet them. For a small neighborhood, I would think it would be friendlier. "

    "Quick access to major highways. I can usually get to work in about ten minutes, which is great. There is a lot of construction in the area lately on grand and summit, especially a very poor rerouting of a bike lane that is precarious for bikers, drivers, and pedestrians, which is not as great."

    "For an inner city neighborhood, it’s so quiet and it has a good home feeling. I thought living my colleges it would be rowdy and a party street, but, I have been here 6 months and not once, not once, have I ever been awakened or shocked with “party school” behavior. "
