    "It’s safe, and this is a residential community on the brink of gentrification. There are families that have been here for generations. I think it adds a charm of security and culture. If I don’t bring in my garbage cans, someone will place them on my porch. This is a lovely place to live. "

    "Horrible area to live in. Maybe in the next two years or so it will be better- since they have been building new properties from the ground up in this area. So that definitely means that the riff raf, the drug dealing, and strange activity will hopefully come to a end real soon around here."

    "It’s thankfully resisting gentrification, but Drexel has been buying up many of the properties in the area, giving way to an influx of obnoxiously rich college kids who do not respect the locals. Otherwise it is a calm neighborhood with a lot of history. "
