The area is going downhill. Families are getting mugged coming home for smart phones. The area is not safe to walk around in day light and night.

The area is dangerous. Robbery, drugs, and violence is a common occurrence

The houses in general all look the same in terms of exterior appearance. in terms of internal appearance, they for the most part look the same as well except for minor exceptions. There aren't really many perks of living in this area as opposed to others for example, good neighborhood, garage, yard (for pets, sittings, etc.)

There are little business around the area, most of which include bodegas, liquor stores, pharmacies, and gas stations. However, I wouldn't exactly say the employment is excellent, especially in an area such as this one.
