    "It’s a rough area but blessed to be so close to the marina and the beaches. Housing costs are sky high, juxtaposed with unhoused living just outside your door. Overall pretty magical but suffering from poor governance."

    "There are parks and tons of exercise opportunities. However some are steep and, not for everyone plus no sidewalks. A careless driver ( or someone using the windy roads as a racetrack) and a dog getting out of the yard in this neighborhood could be a disaster. "
