My husband and I grew up in this neighborhood and our families continue to live there. It does feel dodgy at times (especially over by the apartments on Ellis) but overall it's quiet and filled with a diverse group of people. At times when there are lots of renters, and the homes get shabby. Crime on Reservoir can be heard at night. People overall care for their homes. There is a NHA with a neighborhood pool. 15 minutes can take you anywhere in town from here. Best part about living here is the mixed bag of homes. Homes have been invested in and you can turn a profit if you put some money in (parents did it twice in this neighborhood.)

There are many services that need to be reformed and held accountable for their actions

There is high crime here, from robberies to homicide. The police need to make a better effort to show their presence!

There are numerous gyms, but they are never packed, just a few here any there, but you see quite a bit of people jogging outside
