    "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."
