  • Page B.
    "Northgate Park is a wonderful neighborhood! It's safe, walkable and diverse, and has a great sense of community. Amenities include the huge family-friendly park, close proximity to the Museum of Life and Science, walking trails, and a dog park. Cute post-war era cottages are predominate, but there are some larger houses as well. Large/deep lots with lots of mature trees are the norm, and people maintain their landscaping and the houses as well. Magnet elementary school is within walking distance of most."

    "Excellent neighborhood, great community feeling, neighbors helping neighbors."
