What I like about North Park is that is calm. The neighborhood is clean and yes there might be a cemetery but what I like the most is like I said before that is calm, is close to a University and a High school.

The community is very kind but it may be hard to find things to do. The parks in the neighborhood are very beautiful and the houses are very comfy looking, but you may need a car if you want to find something interesting to do or to eat.
