    "This is not a bad neighborhood. If you stay to yourself then you will be alright. The only thing I do not like is there are no sidewalks. I have many nieces and nephews that visit frequently and when we take walks or ride bikes around the neighborhood we have to be in the street. I’m surprised there are no sidewalks with all the schools nearby. "
