    "One of the last LA cities that is zoned for horses. We see horses and their riders all the time and it’s unique and fun to see. The mountains are beautiful and the winds make this area one of the best air quality cities. "

    "I've lived here 18 years (since Sept. 2001), and my wife and I like it very much. We live on the hills which we love. It's quiet and safe. My wife and I walk in the evenings, and we have always felt safe. I have worked as a teacher here since 1992, and I've been nearby (about a block away from the school) where crime was committed only once a few years ago. I took a class at the junior college here, and I liked it. I also liked the professor very much."

    "A lot of traffic during rush hour from the people traveling to/from the SC and Antelope Valleys. Glenoaks is a good alternate to the 210 since there is ongoing construction on Foothill. Most bus routes aren’t convenient for local travel and will increase travel time by 200-300%. "

    "The Commute to Los Angeles is a big rough if you leave late however,if you give yourself the allotted time needed you should get to your destination with no problem. Taking the Train to Union station and the subway to your drop off is the best route and you don’t have to deal with the traffic. "
