    "We've lived here for 32 years and seen children grow and leave so the neighborhood now is quiet. Everyone is very friendly and yes, people walk their dogs at night. The street is about 3 minutes to the community college and close to the highway to Cleveland, about 25 minutes away. We love our neighborhood so much we recently bought a ranch home up the street."
