    "It’s a lot of noise here because we live next to a freeway. Dog owners would like all the walking you can do here, and the local park nearby that is within walking distance. "

    "Public transportation is horrible. I wish it were better given the fact that we have so many teenagers who can't drive yet. They need things to do too. Unfortunately there isn't much for them around here to keep them off drugs, vandalism, stealing, and other poor choices. Hopefully since it's so expensive here our community will add more things to do for our children when they're not in school or extra curricular activities. "
