"Great neighbors, great location. Walking distance to just about every necessity. Very dog friendly and a great walking neighborhood."

"We have a park by our elementary school. People walk their dogs, stroll their children and play soccer and basketball. Everyone is so friendly and neighbors will help anyone who needs it. "

"The original Hathaway Drive area (from Shamrock north toward 183) consists of Hathaway Drive and Bowling Green Drive, and the connecting roads leading from Burnet Road. This area starts where the track field sits for Burnet Middle School. and is inhabited with quiet, orderly and hard working people who do not have dogs staked in the front yard nor is there any graffitti on fences, loud parties, crazy drivers, etc. Most of the homes were built in the early 1950's and are 100% limestone quarried from the area. Anything that is not limestone is much newer. There is another Hathaway/Bowling Green area at the southern end of the area when the school sits on Doris Drive. These are very small homes, usually with no or 1 car garages. These homes were built later, too, and are not in the area I discuss here.. I know nothing about that area, but there is a distinct difference in the two. My mother lived here in the house my grandfather built, and owned rent homes in the area. Even now previous tenants contact me wanting to know if "their home"tmight be sold to them. I think that speaks well of this neighborhood...how often do previous tenants try to buy the house they once rented ? There is traffic associated with Burnet Middle School, and soccer players who practice daily at the track field, and, of couse, an occasional driver tries to find a shortcut and gets lost. Ohlen Road is at one end of Hathaway, and it runs from Burnet to Research. The area is definitely part of a city...it is no longer as quiet (Research runs 24/7...) as when I was a child, but neighbors walk, ride bikes, and just hang out much like then. Homes sell quickly, and the location can't be beat if you commute via MoPac, Research or IH 35. I know nothing about the schools anymore, but have not heard of or seen any crime in the area so I guess it's pretty low in these few blocks anyway."
