    "This neighborhood has a touchy reputation, but I've always felt safe and secure. People are friendly and look out for each other. There is also beautiful architecture, lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance, and family-friendly parks. I liked TGS when I lived there, but I think BPW is better: more affordable, and actually safer. "

    "I would never want to raise a family in this neighborhood. Gun shot/loud boom sounds everyday. Im always hearing about home invasions going on in the neighborhood and it is just absurd. Looking to move somewhere more pleasant and SAFE."

    "As a dog-mom of two active puppers, I LOVE our neighborhood. Our yard is large enough for the two of them to blow off some steam, and for longer walks theres a great park just two blocks away. Most of my neighbors have dogs also, so they have plenty of friends to 'chat' with across the fence. "

    "Lots of crime. I've already been robbed twice in less than a year. Gunshots and sirens are nearly an everyday occurrence. My car was hit and I never found out who did it. I love the house that I rent and would love to buy it, but I don't see myself staying in this neighborhood, especially since I have a family."

    "Great neighbors that watch out for each other. Always someone outside to chat with or say hi. I walk my dogs twice a day and my neighbors are always ready to let us know if any problems or concerns. I feel safe here all the time. Short walk to Cherokee restaurants and Grand shopping. "
