    "The neighborhood's walkability is what attracted my family. We can fulfill most of our needs without leaving the neighborhood, and mainly use or bikes or feet for transportation. We're also near four bus lines that can get us all around the city, and have either bike infrastructure or side streets that can get us downtown without ado. "

    "We love Alger Heights: we're in walking distance to almost everything we need, including multiple grocery stores, a hardware store, restaurants, library, post office, parks, and more. Neighbors tend to be friendly and homes well-kept, and the neighborhood safe and quiet. We're near multiple bus lines and an easy bike ride downtown. "

    "There are bus stops everywhere, like every block on the busiest streets. I drive myself. But I also see a lot of bikers. The neighborhood feels really safe, if you need to walk to the bus stops"

    "Typically my commute isn't that bad, there are times that traffic is heavier on 28th St. and Kalamazoo Avenue, however it only adds a few extra minutes. "

    "Alger Heights is such a friendly neighborhood! We love the walking community. We can walk to the park, walk down the road to ice cream, and stop next door for groceries on our way home. Real Food Cafe has the best breakfast in town, and Sweet Mellisas has delicious ice cream! It is a great community for meeting new friends or playmates for your kids. There are lots of parks to walk to including a splashpad. We wouldn't have wanted to live anywhere else the past 10 years! "
