It's a pretty good, civilized, area . I haven't had any problems here at all and if i had a choice to live here again i would. I would compare this area to walking in a family reunion, it feels like a homely place. I would see the area for retirement.

It is a bad area. Full of the minorities so therefore I as well as others feel the government does not care.
