    "It’s affordable and uneventful a safer quieter part of ocean view. A great place if you are low income and need affordable housing. Most of the area is drug and crime infested."

    "We lived here for a few years, originally from out of state we were pretty happy with the area. It’s close to the beach, base and easy to get downtown and to the grocery stores, there was a dog park near our small complex. Not too bad for a young couple getting started/in the military. "
