    "The dog owners are very kind and responsible with their dogs. They don’t let them bark all day long like some neighborhoods do. It’s a pretty quiet neighborhood as far as barking dogs. They pick up after pets too! "

    "what I love the most about this neighborhood is we over look the Marine Base, and because that you get a lot of wild life, the sound of the frogs in the spring is deafening yet charming, also I am 1 mile from my barn where I board my horse. It feels like we live in the country instead of the suburbs. I live in the eastern portion of Oceanside, and this area is horse country, mainly Thoroughbreds. The San Luis Rey Training center for race horses is about 5 miles from my house. It is a quiet and very safe neighborhood."
