The community is great overall. I like how you are close to a lot of store. I like how it is close to the water in certain areas, and have good quiet neighborhoods, that are safe.

I love this area. Its surrounded by shops, grocery stores, and schools. Easy access for families to get what they need. The environment is safe for the little ones.

I've had a good time in Middle River, the schools are nice. The people can be nice, but like any place, there can be a few bad apples.

Some nice people mixed in with a bunch of disrespectful inconsiderate people. Trash thrown everywhere. No one really cares about the neigborhood.
