    "We are a waterfront community. Because we are a peninsula, there is a feeling of safety because there is one way in, and one way out. Our neighbors are more than neighbors,they become friends"

    "There is some traffic during rush hour—other then that, there is no traffic. The Red Line is around the way and so is the commuter rail. The buses also run every 15 minutes—sometimes they come every 5 minutes—easy!"

    "There is a nearby dog park. As in most cities, dogs must be leashed and picked up after. Small dogs need to be aware of coyotes, foxes, and fischer cats."
