    "Beautiful, lush area to live in. Big front and back yards. Upper middle class with lotss of retirees. BUT... if you are not known, or from out of state/town, neighbors tend to get uppity and look down your nose. White community with a sparse mixture of Bland and Hispanic that are "tolerated". Good Schools but none in walking distance. Gang activity surrounds the outskirts of this area but police patrols are often seen along the streets. Nice place to live, with tremendously high Utility Bills."

    "Have lived in this neighborhood for 8 years. Very private, a lot of homeowners enjoy walking in the neighborhood. No traffic . Beautiful tree lined streets when azaleas are in bloom. One of the best neighborhoods in Kinston and definitely for the current prices."
