We do see the police patroling the streets often. However the prevalence of crime is hard to describe because most of us living in the neighborhood know it's there but don't often get mixed up in it.

The general atmosphere of the neighborhood is okay. Often times there are a lot of children hanging out together and playing on the streets. There are times though where it might feel unsafe but it doesn't happen very often.
