    "It's a somewhat older area in terms of residents, but pretty safe nonetheless. A little dark at night because there aren't enough lamp posts, but it's still fine at night for a walk. "

    "Regardless of how safe the neighborhood is generally, it is better to always keep doors locked, both house and car. People from outside the neighborhood like to come and walk around in the middle of the night in the hopes that car doors are unlocked and this is happened a number of times throughout the years. "
