My overall area is somewhat a hit and miss. Certain parts are very appealing and upkept, while others lack the same appeal.

Where I live is generally the same as any normal living environment in America. There's not much traffic, hardly any crime, and plenty of shopping areas nearby.

There is select areas in town where crime is more prevalent but for the most part it is localized to those areas
