    "Many people walk their dogs here and there is a pretty good dog park. Not everyone is friendly however and many people will actively avoid you if they see you with a dog. This is the opposite of mendocino county where I made lots of close relationships with my neighbors from dog walking. I would not expect that here."

    "I have lived within walking distance of downtown Novato for over 15 years. In the past five years, I feel the town seems to be making more of an effort to create events. There are a good variety of restaurants and grocery stores. It’s safe and there is great access to nature and hikes, particularly Indian Valley Campus is beautiful. My neighbors are kind and the area is dog friendly. I feel fairly safe, though I would not walk alone at night as a woman. There is some homelessness and I have been harassed before by people who are drunk or on drugs, but this is an issue in any city these days. It’s not frequent. That said, it’s very expensive to live here and it gets very hot! Make sure you have AC"
