    "I have lived in this neighborhood since I moved to Alaska seven years ago. It has been a great place for the kids to grow up. It is quiet and not very noisy. We see lots of Moose around here too. "

    "Some dogs are escape artists and run the street, pooping in other peoples yards. The owners don’t bother to try to clean up. It’s too woodsy. Most people are very respectful with their animals. Walking them on leash and making sure they aren’t causing others problems."

    "It’s super far away from everything. We are way out in the boondocks. Not a great place for a commuter, but still a lovely place to live. Settlers Bay is a beautiful high-end neighborhood but KGB is a very dangerous road. The state plans on putting more funding into making the road safer, so in the future it won’t be so bad. "

    "KGB is a very busy and dangerous road. Not only to drive on, but to live 100 feet from. There are lots of families around here, which is great, but the volume of traffic makes it a bit much for any parent to let their kids out and play. "

    "The problem with this area seems to be the infinite amount of W. Virginia hillbilly types who lurk about, making the decent hard working types second guess the actual value behind the beauty of the surrounding nature. The messes they like to cultivate in their yards are also a little unsettling. "
