    "Our neighborhood is very eclectic...diverse...and I love that! I have a car, but it has super low miles on it, because I bought it shortly after we bought our house here, and while I do drive it regularly, most of the places I go are within 5 miles of home. I have wonderful immediate neighbors on either side, and directly across the street. "
