    "It’s a beautiful neighborhood with friendly residents. Proximity to the park and shopping is extremely convenient. Festivals can get loud and annoying but they’re one of the things that can be both a perk and a downside. "

    "Steps away to restaurants and notable Atlanta spots. Fair privacy and safety but sorry to say, very common for your car to be broken into... just something you accept I guess for living in the city."

    "Just be mindful of your surroundings and watch out for drivers not obeying traffic laws. There tend to be a lot of loud exhaust noises late at night and it’s definitely not the quietest of neighborhoods, but it’s also the closest to NYC you’ll find in Atlanta!"

    "MARTA is extremely unreliable/time-consuming even for short distances. My commute (driving) within 2 miles takes about fifteen minutes. However, during snowmaggedon, it took about 3 hours. That about sums up my commute, just trying to reach minimum of 100 characters."
