    "This area has a high crime rate. I don’t know how well you would like to walk around this Neighbourhood with your animals. I know I wouldn’t but you know if you can’t really afford anything else. This is the only neighborhood that you can afford to live in."

    "I've lived in this neighborhood for 10 years. This neighborhood has peaceful nights. During the morning you barely hear anyone they have all left early for work, those who are around are cleaning snow or mowing the lawn, depending the season, It has truly been the most amazing neighborhood I have had the privilege to live in."
