I had to choose to live in this neighborhood again i would choose to live there. No matter how average the neighborhood is there was a lot of opportunities that was available for my younger brother and that's all that matter. He had the opportunity to play football, baseball, and basketball for our neighborhood and because of that he's good at everything and his self esteem is rising all thanks to the place we call home.

My neighborhood has single, twin and some row homes. It is really a nice neighborhood I just wished people would not throw trash out of their car windows on our streets and residence to take pride in their homes.

People again tend to be busy and private. More cordial than friendly
