Our Take
This neighborhood offers decent school options and a reasonable price‑to‑income ratio, but it’s very car‑dependent and offers little in the way of walking or public transit. If you’re a commuter who can handle a car and don’t mind a moderate crime level, it’s worth a look, but it’s not a great fit for a self‑contained lifestyle.
