    "It’s a pretty safe neighborhood, that’s a fact. But it’s good to keep an eye on your kids anyway. You never know what’s going on out there."

    "I grew up in the West End, and still live here today. I love the tree line streets and all of the houses look different from each other, its not a “development” feel, the homes are unique. There are sidewalks everywhere, and street lights at night for added safety. Every other street is a number, so its fairly easy to learn your way the neighborhoods. "

    "My commute is very good daily, my neighborhood is quiet and everyone speaks to everyone when in passing. We may not know our neighbors well but they as well as my family are always courteous and respectful to one another’s property and we watch out for each other’s homes when away. I couldn’t have asked to live in a better neighborhood."

    "I think that my commute is sub-par. With most of the parking being on the roads it sometimes makes it hard to see when making a turn. Otherwise I don’t feel that there is heavy traffic aside from construction traffic. "
