    "Children are safe in our neighborhood. This part of town is known for its friendly people but most importantly for its home ownership. We take pride in our properties. Also, being within close proximity of parochial school, city schools, F&M, Buchanan Park and their amazing dog park is huge plus!"

    "Friendly, clean, close to many events-stores...walkable. Nice area! Apts and houses seem to be well maintained. The neighborhood takes care of their properties. Folks take pride in their homes and surroundings. The area is very quaint and historical. The homes are so pretty. With all the trees around it gives the neighborhood a cozy homey feeling. I’ve noticed the landscaping makes the area more attractive, more inviting and so appealing. It makes one feel safer than other demographic areas of living. People seem to CARE more about the place they live in. These folks seem to have a more positive outlook towards their homes, others properties and their outlook in life. Some events go on in the area. People take pride in decorating for different seasons and holidays. I feel a peaceful nature, belonging when talking to others around here. Overall , it is one of the better and tranquil spots to live in. Also feel more secure and happier around here."
