    "I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 18 years. I’ve seen this neighborhood’s qualities shine recently. We know several neighbors on first name basis. People in the area are friendly in general. I recently got a puppy and the neighborhood is convenient for walking and there are many pet owners around and kids playing outside so it provides a homey feel. It’s a very central location to several major commerce areas too. "
