    "The crime rates and safety can vary drastically from street to street, so I'd recommend looking at the actual street you intend to live on rather than the broad crime rates of the general area."

    "Separate little houses instead of apartments. Very close to parks and lakes. Used to have a supermarket in the area but it was lost in a fire a few weeks ago. You can hear the train some times in a day or night."

    "I bought my home a month ago and I feel quite safe here. All of the homes are well maintained and the neighbors really watch out for each other. The early mornings and evenings are great for sitting on the porch. The neighborhood is getting better each block at a time. I wish I would have moved here years ago. The cost of the homes are very reasonable as compared to the national average."
