    "There is an excellent elementary school in Garfield. The families are what make the neighborhood great. In addition there are a lot of students & ASU employees. It’s close to everything downtown - arts, sports, and restaurants. Other than some transient people that you see anywhere these days, it’s a super cool mix of old & new Phoenix. "

    "There is a lot of history and some charm, however with the freeways close by and the amount of alley ways that are present in about 95% of the properties; this area gets a lot of homeless, dumpster divers, gang bangers and scouts on the look out for burgarlizing homes. we have to be very vigilant when it comes to our exterior and the back of our home due to very unsafe and unpatroled alley ways."
