"I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 20+ years. Wonderful locations. Flat sidewalks as opposed to the holiness of most BayArea communities . Like a misplaced midwestern town Can easily walk to restaurants, the movies, shops, coffee, bars, and the park or beach. Friendly people. Hope it doesn’t change too much now that it has been discovered and has a bit of wealth."
