    "My husband suggested it to me and I agreed, it’s me. I agreed to check it out and I didn’t think I’d like it, but for some ungodly reason, I did, I mean like it. So we begin our search for the perfect home for us and our our children."

    "Some families petition around the block to close the street on the 4th of July, it turns into a block party of sorts with people barbecuing in the street. Since it’s a family neighborhood it’s really lively on holidays and closing the street makes it much safer for everyone as well! There’s lots of great yard sales, car shows, and different markets/ carnivals that happen at parks and plazas within just a couple blocks. I LOVVVEE this neighborhood "

    "It’s dangerous and super sketch . No parking EVER ! Your car could be stollen from your driveway so don’t even pull in leave it running while you go inside to grab something . Homeless population digs through trash so shred everything . Neighbors are very loud and disrespectful across the board . It’s not unusual to have noise from a party well until 1/2 am . Cars typically double park or park in a fashion where you can not exit your own driveway. "
