Horrible place to live. Lots of racism and discrimination against Hispanics from a certain group. Very dirty and filthy streets lots of drug addicts and bums and mentally ill people walking around the streets. Trash and litter everywhere. No decent stores to shop at. This is the worst place I have ever lived in. I need to move out. It's not for me.

It is a nice, quiet and friendly neighborhood. I have lived there since I was born and I have never had any problems here. My neighbors always greet my family and vice versa. I don't have any noise complaints either.

From all the neighbor hoods I've ever lived in, Ive found this one to be the calmest. The neighbors are very friendly and the houses aren't high on prices. Theres a diversity of different races and cultured people and its always great to meet new faces. Due to all the car dealers, fast food places, and stores around, I would say that theres plenty job opportunities around here.
