    "The people you run into while walking your dog are nice, but you will still look down sometimes, sometimes not all the time, and see poop that wasn’t picked up. It’s rare, but it happens. "

    "Great neighborhood for walking dogs, no sidewalks but not a lot of traffic most of the time. Drivers usually take caution around pedestrians. Active train tracks dangerous for dogs who get loose. Most homes have ample yards, but not all are fenced. Lots of squirrels and rabbits to entertain your dogs. "
