    "This neighborhood is safe, love the people, there are always neighbors greeting you or stopping to talk. Its so convenient and quiet. its your quaint home just outside of the district. Easy access to either 95 or 395. pretty close to everything, but enough to be outside for a relaxing home to come to. If I wasn't offered once in a lifetime job, id retire here."
