the house is wonderful. the neighborhood not so much. it was quiet for the most part but its not in a good part of town. we had a gentleman get in the middle of the street as we were driving and pretend to shoot us with his hands in the shape of a gun. you can park either in the front on the street or in the back alley with the garage and extra parking spot next to it. the alley is not cleaned or brush taken down so that was interesting.
