    "before moving here, I was afraid to because I thought it would be a bad area with how close it is the a bad side of town. However, since living in the rental I'm in, I've found this neighborhood is very quiet and secluded. I call it a safe haven amidst the bad haha. It's tucked away enough that you would never guess there was a nice little neighborhood here when driving past the road that leads into it. It's not bad here."

    "I was unsure about living here, as the area was very close to a bad part of town. I grew up and lived my whole life in a nearby neighborhood and always heard bad about the area. I came across a house in this area when I was looking to move and was convinced to at least drive by it and was impressed. The neighborhood was nice and seemed very safe and tucked away. I moved in and felt safer here than I did in the neighborhood I grew up in. You would think being closer to the bottoms (Franklinton) would make things very unsafe and sketchy but I've found this neighborhood to be a tucked away "safe haven" even though it is minutes away from a bad part of town. I walk my dogs (I'm a female) by myself late at night and into the morning hours (I work night shift) and feel safe. Kids play in their yards and on the sidewalks all the time. A surprisingly safe little neighborhood!"

    "It appears to be a safe neighborhood for kids. Everyone for the most part keep to themselves . Streets are congested with cars so you must teach your children street safety and be aware of cars speeding on main thoroughfare."

    "Crime is low, most home owners upkeep their property. Neighbors for most part keep to theirselves but ones you interact with are friendly. Only issue is roads are congested from parked cars on roads"
