    "No I don’t not see people walking dogs, due to all the violence most people stay in doors or to themselves. Some ignore it and still go to local parks but leave when it become crowded or youth comes in."

    "Great parks, great access to highways and Lee summit shopping district along with Longview lake. Some areas are great and some are not to good but this area does get a bad rep due to some of the things that’s happened."

    "I've lived here for almost 6 ears, having bought a home here in 2012. The neighborhood is mixed in cultures and in upkeep. But, overall it is mostly families with children of various ages. Most of the children stop and talk to me and give hugs while they are out playing."

    "I used to live in this neighborhood, and did so for a little over a year. Frankly, I would never live here again. Very loud, very unsafe. I heard cops nightly and had neighbors get robbed. Overall I’m glad for the experience of living here, as it made me grow as a person, but would not recommend anyone to live in this neighborhood."

    "neighbors harassed me via thru the Ruskin height association, had unrealistic complaints about me. I'm a mother of 2 and mind my own business but obviously if you do that its a problem for the neighbors. "
