    "My kids were grown when we moved here so I’m not intimately familiar with considerations for children… there are a few streets where traffic is heavy and fast, as well as a few open canals that could be dangerous. I would be very cognizant of these hazards if I had small children and I was looking for a home—find the smaller/quieter streets that are near the open spaces. "
  • Trulia User
    "No comment, I work from home. Access to I-84 via vista and Downtown via capitol is quite good though. "

    "I live in this area because of the proximity to BSU, Shopping, Nightlife, and Restaurants. There are some really cute areas on the Depot Bench. Lots of older homes are being bought by open-minded, artistic types of people. 5 min walk to BSU, 5 min bike ride to downtown. Love it!"
