    "Old Town East is diverse with people of all backgrounds. I find it quiet and charming. The best affordable places are not on these apps, look for leasing office and building signs and reference that for their websites! Good luck"

    "Not many fenced yards. Mostly apartments and condos with limited green space, which means owner must accompany dog with a leash. A challenge mainly during weather extremes."
