"Very Happy"

I lived in this neighborhood for 10 yrs coming from the Bronx and l'm very at home here. It's very quiet and it's safe for families who want to purchase a home for the 1st time. Home owners care for their property and are proud..The people make the neighborhood . Hoping more families buy homes and make this neighborhood #1..
Pros
  • Majority quiet
  • Home owners take pride
  • Shopping available
Cons
  • Small stores attract mennis
  • Not enough police presence
  • Not enough neighborhood activities
