    "There are sidewalks in most streets and plenty of folks walking their dogs. Most clean up after them as you should. No dog party close by. It’s a safe, quiet community with a good neighborhood feel."

    "Plenty of dog owners out and about all the time, so we are dog friendly. People do care about others picking up after themselves and being responsible owners, so that is expected."

    "Lovely homes from several different centuries, tree lined streets and friendly neighbors! It is not uncommon to see people out walking dogs, children riding bikes and neighbors chatting out front while shoveling snow in the winter or sitting on their porches in the summer."

    "I work in Melrose and have lived here the last year and a half. It seems to be a great community for new families. I really enjoy renting here, but would be too expensive to buy in this area"

    "Wonderful community -- great for those who commute into Boston. Lively and beautiful downtown. Great recreation and parks - Ell Pond, The Fells, Pine Bark and Mt. Hood. Community pool and tennis and a great farmers market. Whole Foods is an excellent addition. Love it here."
