    "Great place to live in, you don’t have to move out of the state in order to live in a great area. In addition to that you’re not far from the city and there’s plenty of mass transit. I recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to live there."

    "Dog owners don’t pick up their dogs poop. Also they’re a lot of rude people who live and commute in the area. "

    "A lot of time dogs are out of the owners control. A lot of medium to large sized dogs that pull and scare dogs that are much smaller. Also the possibility of being blamed for not picking up dog feces when in fact it’s the other people in the neighborhood. There is a lot of grass available for walking but it’s full of feces from other dogs going in it so it makes it difficult to walk your dog without stepping in something "

    "Best schools in area, quiet part of the bronx due to many private house, restaurants, plazas, numerous supermarkets, no street cleaning!! No moving cars twice a week !! All big parks have been updated like new!! Clason point city boats leaving every 30min-hour everyday. Subway close and buses are everywhere. Best place in the bronx period!! Water views are best!

All the best Indian food, Mexican , Dominican and Jamaica food close by. I have two tracks near by and a little long bike path in soundview park. The track is usually filled with people playing soccer but in the morning it’s available."
