    "The neighborhoods are family friendly but the drivers in the area are not always paying attention to pedestrians. Street parking is difficult as not everyone parks in a way that allows other cars to park there as well. "

    "I love Ghent! I appreciate the small restaurants and eclectic, artsy people I have around me. There are many parks and I feel like my daughter is safe within this area. Schools are mediocre at best. But there are plenty of private schools. I send my daughter to public schools, but she’s in a special program designed for gifted kids. "
