    "Dogs are welcome if owners would just use poop bags and take the bags to a trash can. I’m a dog owner and we have a good life here "
  • Danaray
    "Cosmic Coffee is a 5 minute walk for happy hour, by way of the pond. We also walk to Crux to workout and co-work. The neighbors are friendly and the oak trees offer wonderful shade in the summer. Our little neighborhood also features many little groves of orange trees. Extra wide bike lanes lead to the grocery store and all the fun shops and eateries on South Congress/South 1st. "
