Our Take
This neighborhood is affordable and has decent schools, but you’ll need a car and can expect a fair amount of property crime. The air quality is only moderate and the area isn’t great for walking or public transit. It could work if you’re a budget‑savvy first‑time buyer or remote worker, but you’ll need to weigh the drawbacks.
