    "I've lived here for 7 years. It's incredibly convenient with 3 grocery stores in walking distance, multiple restaurants, few minutes to freeway access. The dog walkers get to know your dog by name, but not yours :) I feel safe walking alone 24/7, street parking can be a hassle from restaurant employees and visitors."
