    "The area seems to be gathering more families, but has a lot of rentals with frequent turnover. Quick walk to downtown and to many area parks, love the closeness to all the great things going on downtown Appleton."

    "The dog owners would like the near by Parks and the river as well. Many birds like geese they wouldn't like them as much and small to no backyards for the dogs to run and play. Many children live all throughout this area as well. "
