    "This is a nice neighborhood, people keep to themselves but wave hello when walking past. Not a lot of issues with loud people or disruptive noise. I’ve felt comfortable knocking on a neighbor’s door when necessary. People maintain their properties well, I feel safe walking around, and there are frequently kids playing outside or people walking their dogs. I feel safe letting my children play outside. "
