Our Take

Desoto is a solid and livable neighborhood with a mix of amenities, relatively low crime, and decent schools. However, it's not perfect, and some areas may have a rougher feel, especially outside of major thoroughfares. It's a good choice for families with kids or those who want a more laid-back atmosphere.
