The house is nice. It worked well for our family, with our young kids. The neighborhood was some what disappointing. The only restaurant that we came across while walking was not kid friendly, one night I walked to the corner store to get an adult beverage and I didn't feel safe. On the positive side there is a good local coffee shop very close and the playground across the street was awesome, the kids loved it, and the subway station is a short walk away. Again the house itself is nice and comfortable, the area that the house is in is not.
