Our Take
This neighborhood is car‑heavy and not very walkable, but it has decent schools and plenty of parks. Housing costs are high relative to income, and flood risk is a real concern. If you’re a remote worker who can commute and don’t mind a bit of noise and crime, it might work, but otherwise consider looking elsewhere.
