    "A very nice neighborhood seems like a safe there’s not many stores near it but it is a supermarket people are very responsible and you need a car you can use the bus or cab and sometimes bikes or motorcycles but it seems like it’s safe for the children and the people. Love the scenery an the area has a high school and elementary schools near it very good building up their neighborhood and keeping their streets in their lawn clean."
