    "Rented here for 5 years and I wish there were more options for first-time home buyers in an affordable price range (it’s a high rental market), but Clifton Gaslight is a wonderful area with all your basic necessities in walking distance from most residences. There are some interesting characters that you’ll see frequently and some streets are more prone to vandalism but overall it’s a lovely area with eclectic houses, a few parks, and a ton of amenities nearby. Very dog-friendly and I see a lot of families with young children."
