    "there is crime and gunshots but mostly happen at night. be alert if you're walking down busy streets. because of gentrification it is getting a bit better and there are pockets where you can feel safe while walking.. all in all if you are out at night just be mindful and street wise.. there are drug addicts and drunks that walk the streets at night.. it is very trashy and there are drug rehabilitation centers in the area.. I have seen needles on the ground as well"

    "Love living in Kolbe Farms - Holiday lighting contests in December, easter egg hunts in the spring. Lots of young families and empty nesters walking the amazing trails in the neighborhood. Great Pool! "

    "Knoll Crossing is very diverse neighborhood with regards to , age, race, economics. It is an extremely safe neighborhood. All neighbors know each other by first name and, additionally, there are at least two community gatherings per year in order to keep those connections. We are all original owners. There has never been a re-sale. There has never been a crime report. Also, we may be the only neighborhood in the area that did not flood during Harvey. "

    "This is a great family neighborhood where families get to know each other, but are not intrusive. Everyone looks out for each other. And you can find people walk with their families, dogs and friends at all hours of the day. "
