    "I’ve lived here for nearly 14 years and it is a nice neighborhood. It’s quiet and a safe place to take walks or run. It’s centrally located to Boston and surrounding areas in addition to Plymouth which is a straight shot down route 3. Plenty of shops and grocery stores within a few miles but definitely easier to have a vehicle vs rely on public transportation. "
