    "This neighborhood is decent since it has a lot of homeowners that keep up with their property. There has been breakins a couple of times my house incl but I expect crime living in Detroit sad to say although its everywhere. I send my kids to Harper Woods schools since it accepts Detroit residents nearby. The parks near by is clean and area is nice close to Grosse Pointe"
