It's renovated it's an area I grew up in its safe for everyone senior citizens, families, newly weds

I like that is quiet. It is near parks. It is pet friendly and very quiet. There are stores and grocery nearby. There are great schools in the neighborhood.

Nothing it's a place me and my family call home. More actually restaurants close. My location is 20 minutes from the city.
