    "It’s like living in the 90’s. The neighborhood kids play outside until it is dark and then go home...just like when I was a kid. It’s definitely nostalgic. Everyone is very friendly and neighborly. I would love to own a home here but it’s just mostly rental houses......very nice rental houses. Me and my husband are looking to buy though. Definitely a kid friendly neighborhood."
