    "The neighborhood is in a weird place. A lot of Waco is like this, actually. One street is nice and well cared for and the next over is on the sketchy side. I wouldn’t let my kid ride a bike around my neighborhood, but I see others—who live on less busy streets—doing so. "

    "The nighborhoods are very confusing safety wise, you can mansions on one block and be in a dangerous part the next block over. I can’t say much about the schools but from what I have heard from teachers Woodway ISD treats staff well so I think there’s probably more retention there "

    "There are a lot of strays running around. And there are people who don’t pick up after their animals. So, I’ve gotten yelled at by 3 different people about my dogs going on the edge of their lawn by the sidewalk. There’s a lot of people who don’t care for their animals and just let them out of their houses, not fenced, off leash, to roam around the streets. It’s really weird. People are weird "
