It’s nice clean and Friendly
It has a gym where people can relax .
I feel this way about my neighborhood because, we don’t get in each other’s business and we are always there for one another when ever it is needed. Love thy neighbors as we LOVE OUR SELVES!
My neighborhood is friendly and welcoming. Our neighborhood is varied: babies, young families, retirees, and very old people. We have a neighborhood newsletter and do activities together, like the 4th of July picnic. Crime is low and everyone watches out for everyone else. The grocery store, Ace hardware, and drugstore are just around the corner and so convenient. People in my neighborhood are kind and good neighbors.
