"There’s parks everywhere ooo and food trucks "

"it's a beautiful place to live. people walk their dogs and clean up the mess.real nice neighborhood. "

"Lived here all my life and my family time to have at van Horne park is awesome. Convenient shopping and off highway quick routes. Sense of community service help within distance of two great hospitals."

"There are numerous families in the neighborhood, and we all welcome any and all helpful information to discuss and implement if pertinent!"

"Most yards are large enough to have dogs in them and a lot of them are fenced in. For the most part nice people and stores are close by if you have no car."

"I lived there for 5 years and found it a nice neighborhood, but many downfalls. There was not many children outside playing. Also, people were nice enough, but a very introverted neighborhood. There was a Christmas party and there is an association that tries to have events, but not many. Unfortunately, while living on Green lane, a car was stolen from my driveway while I was in my house late at night. There are no sidewalks on Green Lane and extremely noisy with 8 lanes of traffic, the life copter from BayState, planes and trains. People keep up their properties, but I did see many possumes. I would not feel comfortable walking when dark at night. Not a very lit area. People stay for short times. Parking was OK. But some driveways are small and side streets are tight to park. It is definitely not close to places to walk except the 7 Eleven up the street. People decorate, but not super festive. I did not see a lot of dogs or cats. All in all it is nice, but be prepared to adjust a lot with, crime, noise, and introverted people also using a car to get to places frequently. Also, not a place to bring up kids unless from the time I have been there more families have moved in and you have to pick schools carefully for your children."
