    "I moved from NH to my fabulous 3BR newly renovated apartment on a very quiet, one way, close knit street. Everyone in my building are friends that spend time at each others homes. I know my neighbors well. We help each other during snow removal, trash pick up etc. Very quiet, safe, no issues with packages, or any type of outdoor furniture/plants/decoration being damaged. My car is on street or in driveway and I have never had an issue. Sidewalks on both sides, close to everything including Stop n Shop, Garvey Park, Firehouse, Dorset Hall, Dunkins, and Neponset Circle, as well as access to interstate 93. If anyone asks me about my neighborhood I highly recommend it, and have plan to live here for the long term. "
