    "It’s a nice, older neighborhood but Spencer is known as not such a safe place. I think it’s safer then what people make it out to be, this is the second time I’ve lived here and no one has ever bothered me or my family. The only problem I see is a lot of loud, thumping music late all day and late at night and young people people will walk between houses and all night long down the sidewalks and they’re not quiet about it either.

    "lived there 3 yrs. some yards nice some real trashy, cars fly by, wouldn't let my kids walk alone, neighbors keep to themselves not very outgoing or eager to say good morning if they see you, bus driver has alot to improve on, just not my kind of neighborhood, i like friendly outgoing people, schools are ok for younger ones but as they get older the school system changes, i guess if you dont want to talk to anyone and have no kids, then it isn't too bad."
