Close to everything
I'm retired and I'm also a veteran. I'm around people my age and the military. I feel safe in my surroundings.
I have my own transportation and I can make the commute
Great location, quiet, kid friendly, family oriented
Despite neighborhood drama, the people of the neighborhood are friendly and will typically give a wave or say good morning if you happen to pass by. The residents are mostly old folk, so it's generally quite out, but there are a decent number of kids around. Some houses are decorated, and are all "age friendly".
