    "There are a lot of dogs in this area. There is even. Dog park in Elmira. However not a lot of owners pick up after their dogs so there is a lot of feces when you’re walk the streets. I personally worry my dog may catch something so I wash his feet regularly "

    "I have lived in this area for almost 10 years. It is a great place to live. Always lots of people out walking in the neighborhood year round. Lots of kids and minimal traffic since it the neighborhood is not a cut through to anywhere. 2-3 miles to major shopping areas. 10 minutes to Corning and Elmira. Lots of recreation/entertainment in the area. Proximity to highways, easy to get on and off. Higher education opportunities close by with CCC and Elmira College. Good public and private schools nearby as well. A lot of athletic fields in the community for recreation opportunities and public use. "
