"It’s a great neighborhood for children, pets, running, and close convenient stores . The neighbors are great as well."

"Roads flood in this area also be mindful of the rain and high tide. Plan ahead and always be proactive about parking. Roads are narrow so watch out for kids in the area because there is not many places they can play. "

"Great location, everything within minutes, walking distance to stores, resturants, schools. Up and coming all around"

"Don't let your kids out after dark sometimes at night you can hear gunshots. Also don't let then go to convenience stores alone. "

"It's a nice area, but ... I bought a condo here in 2009. However ... if I was buying this year, I wouldn't. The place has become a wreck. It flooded in November 2009, and the so-called "homeowners association" never fixed the bowed-out fences or the eroded area. I rate it "terrible" on so many levels because of (a) Safety -- it's supposedly a gated community but 95 percent of the time the gate is either broken or doesn't work (b): Pet-friendly, if you like dog feces everywhere, I guess it is. I'm tired of it. I guess if you don't clean up after your dog, you'll love it here. (c) Restaurants and Shopping: I like Razzo and the Sandfiddler Cafe, but that's it for dining here, unless you're into crack ho's and smoke. There is no shopping. (d) Parks & Recreation: OK, there's a basketball hoop populated by the local kids. (e) The entire Norfolk Public School system is corrupt. If you can move to Virginia Beach, do so. (f) Traffic: No big deal. (g) Parking: If you don't mind the fact that everyone and his dog has an SUV and parks wherever they want to, you're fine. If you are the only person who uses their garage, you're weird. (h) Entertainment & Nightlife: See (d) above. Etc., etc.The pad my home sits on is now exposed and in danger of cracking. I'm doing what I can, but every time it rains, it's a flood through the alley between my condo and the next one. There's a huge mound of construction dirt that has never been removed. It has now sprouted trees and is the greenest thing on the property. My wife and I call it "Li'l Trashmore" . A light post was knocked down by construction vehicles during the winter of 2010 and has never been fixed. It's a hellhole of illegal alien workers much of the time, who throw trash everywhere while putting up houses that probably cost the builder about $25K to $50K to build while they sell for $300K to $500K. Requests for help go unanswered. If you'd like to see the flooding of 2009, visit this site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/44624109@N0"
