    "I lived in Willow Glen for 19 years, I also was raised in this area and went to the school’s here. It has been a great privilege being able to be around the community. It offers some great places and opportunities for single, families, and friends to share a meaningful connection conversations, making new friends, having meals, dancing on the avenue, music, crafts, biking, baking and so very much more all in one place, Christmas is the best time of the year, especially when you’re neighbors go all out and decorate the whole community, and people from all over come to see all the lights and decorations and the ambiance of the city (Willow Glen)within a city . It’s a beautiful and unique place, when you get a chance you have to come and see all the things going on in the neighborhood that I have always enjoyed. Be Blessed and Enjoy your time here!"

    "It’s a great community but there’s a lot to do still to make it better . I think the city should provide a small subsidy to beautify the neighborhood eg. front yards and also enforce removal of junk from those houses that don’t do a good job to upkeep their curb appeal! "
