An assortment of restaurants and stores (Safeway, Kensington Pharmacy, Hardware City, CVS and others are within walking distance. Savannah's, a sports bar and grill, is a great sandwich place. Parkwood is patrolled by the Montgomery County Police, but the neighborhood is quiet and the crime rate is very low. "
