Score Breakdown
Our Take
The neighborhood offers solid school quality and an affordable home price for the income level, but you’ll need a car and the walk score is almost zero. The area isn’t great for transit, nightlife, or quiet living, so it’s a mixed bag for most families or young professionals.
