    "Englewood is an okay place to live. It all depends on the block that you live on, some blocks are better than others. I have never had a problem on my block, because we all look out for each other. So if you move to englewood, the best suggestion for you would be: get to know your neighbors."

    "Dog owners do not clean up after their dogs. They would like that it’s plenty of parks in the neighborhood to walk dogs but there is a high rate of theft depending on breed of the dog"
