    "Many people have dogs in this neighborhood and we all walk them all of the time. I’ve met so many lovely people while walking my dogs in the neighborhood. People also really care about their pets around here and we never see animals that look neglected or mistreated. "

    "I've lived in this area for 9 years and love it, although the housing market has shot up in that time and its not somewhere I personally can afford to buy. its is, in my opinion one of the most beautiful places in LA. With gentrification has come a multitude of cool bars and restaurants. Its pretty great overall and I'll be sad to leave it when I buy outside the city."

    " My friend is moving from here after 25 years so I’ve practically lived here also. And her street is a dead end which is peaceful. Up at the top of Mt Washington and the view is spectacular. East, West, and North. Always 10 degrees cooler than Pasadena. And with a breeze. Wish I lived here. Those who do are the lucky ones. "
