This is an older area. The houses are older and smaller than all the new houses going up all around Tucson. It is a nice area in terms of being close to things. There is a mall nearby. It is not too far from the University of Arizona.

It is a fairly safe area, if any area can be called safe anymore. There is some vandalism. Road and sidewalk maintenance is terrible. The sidewalk in front of out house has been bulging due to the extreme heat. I have called the county to fix it but no has come so far.

It used to be a higher class neighborhood 15 years ago. But trailer parks came in and over time it's deminished
