    "It’s just not safe to walk your dog here. It doesn’t matter if it’s day or night. There is so much crime here now that most neighbors no longer even sit out front of their houses. "

    "Great access to public transportation. Near parks, grocery stores, and pharmacies. About 25min drive to the city and close to 95 and Tacony bridge. Parks may have some graffiti and need a bit better upkeep but otherwise a good area. Ppl keep to themselves for the most part. We got lucky with Friendly neighbors. "

    "Horrible neighborhood to live in thankfully I don’t have any kids to raise. To many renters who let their kids run all hours of the night. People throw their trash on the streets no body takes pride in where they live. We use to have community events years ago!"

    "Most dog owners don’t pick up after their dogs and I unfortunately have had my car broken into over 4 times. Most neighbors stay to themselves. Due to allot of car theft and home invasions it’s best to get cameras and make sure your property is protected on all angles"
