  • Lisa O.
    "This neighborhood offers a blend of historical charm and coastal living. The stunning historical homes, coupled with the soft ocean breeze carrying the scent of the sea, create a tranquil atmosphere. However, the nearby intersection, located on a blind curve without a 4-way stop, has experienced several accidents. Additionally, a German Shepherd frequently barks for hours, which could be a concern for those sensitive to noise."

    "I was visiting with my mother to view a rental and got out of my car to take photos. When we got back in our car, we first saw an argument between a man and a woman who was irate in front of us, then the man approached our car to ask if we had been filming her. This is not a safe area and I would not live here. "

    "In order to walk safely in this area since there are no sidewalks you’ll need to walk along the front of your neighbors yards. They would rather you walk in the street and risk getting killed unless of course you’re a member of their family. Other then that you can trespass on many of the open lots that are filled with ticks. I found five in three weeks on my dog from just one visit to one of these empty lots"
