    "There are always people running or walking with their dogs. People are very friendly. And at least on my street. We all watch each other‘s pets when we are out of town which is really nice sometimes. But every street is different. But most people are really nice with pets."

    "Area is well maintained; people care about their homes here. Traffic is good; Kirk road by Fermilab is a bit busy but the neighborhood is enough away from it. Good place to live with kids; two parks are walking distance from home. Close to malls, restaurants and downtown as well as bike paths and fermilab which has great bike paths and Buffalos to view, as well! "
