    "There are a few good school and kids can no play in front of the house by themselves. There is a nice playground and good shops in this area. I like the neighborhood and there are dog papers in walking distance. The elementary and high school are in walking distance and Community College of Philadelphia are just around the corner."

    "There seem to be lots of kids but I would not let my kids play out on the streets much in their own. Yards are small if they exist. Nice playgrounds/parks nearby."

    "My commute used to be the reverse commute- I drove from Spring Garden, north on I-95 to Street road to get to work- tons of traffic going south into the city. Very quick getting to work and always found parking if it was before 6:30 or so "

    "I've lived in this community since 1978n and have always loved it. It's convenient to center city and to major arteries out of the city. It's well-served by public transportation, with quality restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. Street parking is controlled by city-enforced permits, to guarantee residents a place to park. The nightlife is quiet -- no honky-tonk or loud music. Views of the city's famous skyline are steps from the front door. "
