We have many many homeless and/or sketchy people walking up and down our street all the time, even up and down the alley behind houses. It definitely does not make the neighborhood feel safe. Even with a new Fire Station down the street, it does not feel like it’s swayed the street walking people at all. "
  • Westwood Resident
    "Beautiful spring and summer yards. Large, beautiful trees that are colorful in the fall. Family friendly trick-or-treating on Halloween. Our neighborhood is one of the best kept secrets in Abilene! AHS athletes run through to safely get in outdoor jogging exercise during the school day. Families safely ride bikes and walk most evenings. Large, well-kept homes for a great price!"
