I do not think the area is a bad place to live. Considering about the location and the convenience, it is excellent. The only concern is the cost. Because the housing cost is very expensive, I am worried if I could buy a house when I become independent.

There aren't many events that I've attended or known much about, but I know that if you dig deep enough, there are plenty. People are generally pretty welcoming and there are many families that love to live here.
