    "Dog owners like that a lot of the houses have yards with fences to let their dogs out and there are sidewalks for walks. "

    "I am so happy with all the downtown growth and fun things to do, all within walking distance of this charming home! I’ve lived in the neighborhood in the past and also stayed in this home. Its cozy feel is welcoming. My favorite feature is the porch! It’s especially wonderful to enjoy when it’s raining. "

    "I love this neighborhood! You get to know your neighbors as friends and it has a very small town feel. I am really excited for the new Grant Street revitalization project to add a coffee shop and food truck park just a block down the street. We love our little neighborhood! "

    "There are a lot of areas to walk your pets in. Many areas are covered in grass with several parks and schools if your pet doesn't get along with children you would need to avoid them. Bring a plastic bag for pet waste.because neighborhood requires you pick up your pets waste and throw it away. "

    "I have lived here for three years and this property has gone through several different owners and managers. There is a lot of crime in the area, the garbage is overflowing with used furniture, and it is difficult to get anyone to return my call on maintenance requests or anything else for that matter. "

    "If you work downtown or attend classes on MSU campus, west central is very accessible. Walking, about 10-15 minutes to either location, but it does not always feel safe to do so. There are plenty of bus stops, and the Bear Line stops nearby as well. "

    "Not horrible for dogs but also not the best. You'll notice a lot of strays running around. Many people just leave their dogs out all day and night in the backyard. Lots of barking all day everyday."

    "It can be sketchy at night. Enticing during the day. Sometimes you see hookers, meth addicts searching your trash, or police at a crime scene. On good days you see a lot of good traffic, and people out having fun. "

    "I love the character in the houses that’s why I love the area. What I would like to see happen is that people would invest in the old homes. Like work together with neighbors and request help from the city government to bring north grant back because many of these homes still have good bones! "

    "I've lived in the West Central neighborhood almost two years now. It has it's charm, but also has some serious issues. I love that it's cheap, most of the houses are older and have some real charm. The downside is that it's a little volatile. I'd love to be able to go a month without police being called to my street in the middle of the night, or not find needles on the sidewalk when I walk my dogs, but sadly there are a few nefarious individuals that drag the community down. However, for the most part it's a very charming place. The neighbors lookout for each other without being nosy and I plan on staying here until I move out of Springfield. "

    "I've lived here for several years now...I love this street, there are many hard working families and homes that are stabilizing the neighborhood...its well within walking and biking distance from downtown coffee shops, theaters, universities, hospitals, the DMV and other government offices, art galleries, unique restaurants, botiques, flea markets, the ice rink, and brewing companies...its a great community to live in where people know your name and say hi! adie"
