    "I lived here for 2 years the neighborhood is okay. Most are friendly people but there are a few drug attics in the area it’s never done in the open but you see the aftermath a lot. Besides that it’s a nice neighborhood with a school near by a mixed community it is the best of what you make it honestly."

There is a homeowners association to address upkeep, security, and infrastructure issure to ensure that properties are well-maintained and esthetically sound in appearance externally and internally. Improvements and safety are routinely addressed in this pleasant and quiet neighborhood."
