    "Beautiful Alhambra Park has a lot of activities on the weekends all summer. Live bands, kids movies, swimming pool. The streets at night have very dark areas when walking. It’s a safe area but I’d still be cautious. "

  • Ella M.
    "I’ve lived here for 7 years. The parks here are lovely and dog-friendly. Stores and restaurants are a mile away, so they’re walkable but not too close. My neighbors are polite but not nosy, and I feel very safe here. The only thing I don’t like is that it takes about 20 minutes to reach any freeway due to numerous stop signs, traffic lights, traffic and distance. "

    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 6 years. It’s pretty quiet and it seems most people like to keep to themselves and not cause a ruckus. I run around 8-9pm in the dark and generally feel pretty safe. The thing you most likely have to lookout for are the coyotes. Other than that, I enjoy living in the neighborhood and it seems like it’s safe enough that parents don’t mind letting their kids out to play."
