Yes, my community is very quiet, clean, kid friendly and friendly all around in general, anc public transportation nearby. My neighbors are socialize to me that they been around 30 plus years raised their children barely ant crime or criminal activity in our neighborhood and this is a neighborhood watch area. Many social events and family activities nearby and great school system where they care about children growing and thriving instead of struggling and falling behind.
