    "Friendly neighbors, neighborhood gathering like nowhere else in town. You might encounter some vagrants, but they usually keep to themselves. Might be intimidating to some. Need to have an open mind, not racist or homophobic. There's always a neighbor ready to help, even if you don't know them. "

    "I love living here. The friendly people and real community feel are what really set it apart from any neighborhood I’ve ever lived in in Jacksonville. People I didn’t even know let us borrow decorations, patio heaters, even a golf cart for our wedding in Klutho Park last winter. I’m so glad it is starting to draw younger families, cool events, and more businesses to the area."
