    "The community gets to enjoy food drives. They have enrichment programs for tenants who wish to participate. They have other drives that keep the community in the loop. "

    "They would like it. People are able to walk their dogs in the various parks or surrounding communities in which they live. The dogs seem happy and the owner satisfied that they have the space to run and play with their pet. In some gated communities there are special dog parks for residents of that community."

    "The neighborhood is very diverse. You have you Hispanics, Asians, etc. Because you are in a diverse area there are many different types of cuisine. The schools aren’t the best but you are in hisd so you apply for any hisd school. The parks are kept up with well and many families enjoy them. I like that you are a bout a 15 min commute from downtown and a 10 min commute from the galleria."

    "Dog owners would like that most people in the area are pet owners as well. Although, depending on the situation they would mind that sometimes you have dogs just barking for no reason in the middle of the night."

    "I have about 5 dogs, my biggest pet peeve is living your dog out without a leash, they usually trigger my dogs by barking at them. I also don’t like is that they leave their dogs outside their patio in the summer/ winter, they get dehydrated just like we do but 10x more worst."
