    "It’s a quiet neighborhood not much traffic and you could go on walks I. The morning or afternoons. There the desert to go off roading. Or you can go to the shore and watch the birds and the water if you don’t mind a little stink. "

    "There are stray dogs roaming around, once in a while. It would be a great idea to bring some type of protection for you and your dog. Sometimes the neighbors will let their dogs roam around too but they are friendly."

    "Salton city is an excellent place for families and retirees alike. Low crime and very friendly people provide the ingredients for a small town feel. It's totally different from the big city where everyone is to concerned about making the buck then actually enjoying life. "

    "Difficult austere environment, wide open spaces. Night sky is beautiful and the Salton Sea is also quite lovely at dawn. Lots of birds. If you want solitude and don't mind driving to Indio for shopping this is an all right place to be. It's common to have 120 degree summer days and there's no rainfall. A hermits dream, in a nutshell.
