We have many many homeless and/or sketchy people walking up and down our street all the time, even up and down the alley behind houses. It definitely does not make the neighborhood feel safe. Even with a new Fire Station down the street, it does not feel like it’s swayed the street walking people at all. "

Families safely ride bikes and walk most evenings. Large, well-kept homes for a great price!"
