    "Feels like family folks look out for one another. Streets still have too many potholes but super walkable and feels like a small neighborhood even though it’s in a big city. Better to walk up though not down in block numbers. "

    "Mosswood is a great area. It's super close to Bart and highways, which is great for my commute. The park is also really nice and we take our dog there often. It's also walking distance to Temescal and a lot of great restaurants/cafes - like Beauty's Bagels!"
