Everyone in the neighborhood has lived there for years so everyone knows one another. We're like a big family and always look out for another. It's a very quiet neighborhood and not much goes on. There's always a neighborhood event going on when a major holiday arrives.

They are very small. Some of them make me want to go inside and take a look but some other are the opposite
