    "The best part about Memphis’ lack of growth is the lack of traffic. Commutes are easy if your car is able to withstand poor roads and you are willing to look both ways before proceeding at a green light"

    "There are a lot of families in the neighborhood. The kids love to play outside. Like with any Memphis neighborhood though, the streets can turn rough very quickly. "

    "Midtown is full of dog friendly businesses, dog parks, and dog related events. It’s honestly out of the norm to find a rental in the area that’s not dog friendly and it’s nice to get to know your neighbors on walks or at the dog parks."

    "There is nothing but trash and broken glass all around the complex but especially on the walk outside of the gates. If you want to get to a good walking neighborhood, your dog needs shoes. Also, no one picks up after their pet here and the management doesn't have any waste stations despite charging a lot to have pets here."

    "Commute isn’t optimal. But that’s just Memphis and Shelby County as a whole. The public transit throughout the city is unreliable and make it difficult to be punctual anywhere without being, two hours at a minimum, early. Makes it difficult to schedule around. "
