"Have to keep a look out and a fence around your property, due to lots of other stray dogs. And also if you have a nice dog be cautious because people might even try to steal your dog sad to say but it’s true. And also a lot of fun fire happens in the are all the time, and you always hear sirens. So, best of luck."

"Overall calm neighborhood, there’s a nearby fire station. There’s not that much crime. There’s several big parks which are great for jogging, basket ball, tennis and soccer."
