In my immediate area there are not that many shops to buy what is needed. The closest grocery store is about 5 minutes away which is not too bad, but that doesn't leave many options. There are a few corner stores a little closer but they don't have as much.

There is a lot of over weight people, three blocks away is the stop and go where drinking and drugs is an issue. There is no gym in walking distance. Very little take walks and exercise outdoors. We have a bow flex of which we do not use often. We walk and do floor exercises

Drivers tend to not stop at stop signs, not generous to pedestrians, even police cars speed through stop signs

The community seem to be private, not neighborly at all. The park sends out community events; however, not too many neighbors come out or contribute. Within the surrounding few blocks, neighbors tend to remain in their homes. Let's just say, there is never a block party to get to know your neighbors
