    "Walkable. Good events on Hyde Park square like the seasonal farmers market. Richer area so lower crime. Lots of people jogging and training for the Flying Pig marathon and other races. Home to the Observatory where you can stargaze. Quiet overall. Low on diversity."

    "I have lived in the Oakley/Hyde Park area for 37 years and it is a very friendly and safe area to live. It is a thriving, family friendly neighborhood with several new businesses and new housing developments and the Oakley playground has been newly renovated as well, all of which has been designed to attract new young families.
