    "Crack heads knocking on your door to mow your lawn for $15. That’s kinda cool I guess. Also someone has a rooster, so if you like pretending you love on a farm with a rooster roosting early, I mean, also kinda cool. "

    "I have lived in this neighborhood for over five years. Overall it is a quite area. The neighbors keep to themselves. There are lots of pet cats that are around and some dogs, but nothing to worry about. The local schools are good. The high school is a very sot-after school. Academically, it is a great school with lots of options for the kids. "
