    "Most of my neighbors don’t like the kids playing in our yards. They have the right to play at the end of the yard but not in our yards. We’d like for our neighbors to keep their yards cut and trees trimmed. "

    "Quite accessible. The transit runs through the neighborhood. The schools are nearby for the younger kids. Klein ISD is number one in our city. The neighbors cut their grass and basically keep their property up. They keep their animals on leash. It’s mostly quiet. "
