I've lived in Etna for four years now and every year it gets nicer. The schools are good, people are friendly, houses are being renovated. It's a safe place to raise a family with fun local events and friendly neighbors. Honestly, it's a slice of old school America.

It's a great safe neighborhood and the people are friendly! I love the new river front park. Etna is an art city and has some little shops. Divertido is my favorite place to shop.

Compared to other areas, our area is home to many low-income to moderate-income families, so it's an okay place to live. there is some crime and i definitely don't feel safe walking at night. If I could do it all over again, I probably would not live here, because there are much better places to live with much nicer looking homes.
