It's a quiet place and everything has remained the since I moved here. I'm getting used to the quietness and actually enjoying it. I would still choose to live here if I had to choose.

I literally have no concerns when it comes to safety. I haven't had to call on the police but I think a neighbor did once and the response was great.

The local businesses in my area are better than average, the people are nice and caring which is always hard to find. There is a small restaurant known as Katerinas which is a great pizza spot. The people are kind and always make sure that the food they give me is good, and if its bad they'll give me a different order for free. Good people like that is hard to find; especially in philly.
