    "a lot of dog owners in this area, Perlman parkway is nearby where they can go for a nice long walk or let them run on the grass. Dog owners around the area are also pretty responsible, I've never had to pick up after anyone's dog in front of my house. "

    "Lots of cats, sometimes there are raccoons, the neighborhood feels pretty safe, but surrounding pelham gardens isnt the best area so I would keep that in mind. Not many kids to play with at all. Most people who live here are older upper middle class."
