Neighborhood in Arlington, VA
Current Resident: Arlington Virginia is simply the best of the best in the entire Washington DC area, and well beyond the DC area in my opinion. First and perhaps foremost, the city was designed with the metro stops in mind. Getting anywhere on public transportation is incredibly easy. In these clusters around each and every metro stop, you will find wonderful places to eat, housing, excellent places of employment and great shopping. There are parks galore and everyone seems to be enjoying where they live. The vibe is one of a vibrant city where there is lots to do. There is a reason that Arlington is considered the most desirable place to live in the area. Arlington, along with Alexandria, are the only two areas around Washington DC that feel like real cities; so much more than just bedroom communities that you find on the other side of the river. All this plus incredible history and only five minutes to all the attractions in Washington DC.... Read 2 reviews

Nearby Resident: Chesterbrook is not the community it used to be. The Township allowed much denser development in a large section that was once a larger shopping center featuring a supermarket. This section is the opposite in zoning which featured abundant green space in each development. Cheap 3 story construction will look like hell in 20 years. Too common in many areas chasing tax ratables.... Read 56 reviews

Suburb of Houston, TX
Current Resident: I think that the public senior highschool quality is the most important factor for evaluating a community. There are four top senior highschools in Cinco Ranch/Katy, West suburb of Houston, Texas. There is no any other similar size city with population around 100, 000 would have more top public senior highschools than Katy. This is why I moved in this greatest living place from another good place, a college town, Davis, California where l had lived two decades. It is the safest place to live. I have never had any safety issue since l live here. I also noticed that some nightlife reviews with less Stars. I wanted to let people know that there are several dance schools in Katy. The schools not only teach Ballroom, Latin, Country and Line dance lessons, but also host dance parties. There is the nation largest bar, Whiskey River West with hosting hundreds even over ten hundreds at night. It offers free country, Latin & Line dance lessons before party. It opens from 6:30 PM to 2:00 AM.... Read 106 reviews

Current Resident: This neighborhood is on the edge of Downtown Tampa. It has a mix of Single Family Homes, Apartments, Townhomes, and Multi-Families. It's called Spanish Town Creek /Hyde Park after both the original developer of the area and Spanish Town Creek Waterway. Due to development over the years, the waterway has been covered up and it a now a subterranean creek. It was one of the first developed areas in Tampa. Near Univerity of Tampa, Bayshore, and Downtown. We have lived here several years and it is very safe with access to all A schools from elementary to High School and 15-minute walk to downtown. Spanishtown Creek, an area near where occupied by Spanish speaking fishermen during the era of Spanish control of La Florida before Fort Brooke was established. Spanishtown is believed to have been established in the mid to late-18th century. Levi Collar, the first known Anglo settler arrived in the area ca. 1820. Florida was transferred from Spain to the United States in 1821.... Read 4 reviews

Former Resident: After living in midtown Manhattan for ten years, we lived in the Belvedere Condominium for five years on Oak Street. If you are making $175K + this is a decent place to live, but not a lot to do at night, but you can Uber to Georgetown or Old Town. There are only a few good restaurants within walking distance but being near the Metro, Safeway, and Target is great. There was a mugging on Oak and I saw a car vandalized - both of which happen in NYC, so rather surprised that the safety rating is so high. The Belvedere is not anything like a Manhattan doorman building (staff is arrogant & rude) but it covered all the amenities we needed: David’s small store/dry cleaners in the building, parking, pool/gym. If you want to get home quickly after work/near DCA this is your location. Getting a job here is extremely difficult for professional women over 45, so it was time for us to go when I hit my expiration date. Neighbors are nice, but expect artificially inflated egos for no reason at all.... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Ardmore ever since I was a baby. My mom who is white was in the Peace Corps and was assigned to St. Lucia. While helping out and trying to make St. Lucia a better place she met my father and eventually moved back to the states together. They lived together for a few years in my mom's childhood home in Broomall, a non-diverse town about 15 minutes away. When she became pregnant with my brother they knew they needed to move somewhere where they felt accepted and safe - Ardmore was that place. My brother an I loved growing up in Ardmore and seeing people who looked like us. However, as we grew up and became more aware and intelligent, we realized and saw the racism that does take place, happening at school in particular. In fact, during the prime of the Black Lives Matter movement I became actively engaged in helping my school and the district as a whole become more diverse and to help minorities feel belonging. There is still more change that needs to happen.... Read 39 reviews

Current Resident: Okemos is a very diverse community, and is a great place to raise children who learn to respect diversity at a young age. There is a high percentage of professionals. Consequently, there is a high priority placed on education, and our schools are some of the best. People (who don’t live here) will say our taxes or too high, where in reality they closely match the smaller communities that surround Okemos. The nicer the home the higher the taxes, just like every community. You will find everything you need in this community, from housing , to medical, to education, to entertainment, to shopping, to a good transit system. If you don’t find d it here, within 10 miles there is absolutely everything.... Read 94 reviews

Current Resident: I have called Blue Ash home going on 20 years. After my divorce, I kept the house (which we are currently living in) because it's in BA. I wanted my son to stay in Sycamore schools. Plus, we love the Rec Center and what they are doing at Summit Park and now "downtown." When we moved in, we'd have the cute airplanes flying over our house, but I much prefer all that Summit now has to offer. I can't tell you how many times one of my stepkids or my son has left our house unlocked or left the garage door open, and we've never had so much as a package go missing. I feel very safe everywhere I go in BA. We are lucky to have some great establishments as well - I'm at Pipkin's and Park Pour all the time and have many friends at 49 Hundred. Plus, we have some nice free services like the leaf pick-up, the medicine giveback at the police station, etc. And boy, they do a fabulous job of clearing the streets! Overall, we love Blue Ash - I am so glad I got to raise my son here. <3... Read 41 reviews

Current Resident: I currently go to coppell high school, and have been living here for 4 years. The town seems to be centered around the high school students, and all of the activities going on here. They are many different restaurants to try, and the location is nice, right in between grapevine and Lewisville/carrollton, So everything is about a 15 minute drive from anywhere in the city, which is extremely convenient for trying something new outside of the city, and getting to places quickly. In the square, everything is just about walking distance, and the driving is pretty standard. The only downside to the driving scene here, is the high school and ninth grade campus traffic in the morning and afternoon.... Read 239 reviews

I have never felt worried walking around alone after dark and I have never felt worried about my own safety. If there's one thing I'd like to see change, it's the affordability of housing in the area. There's a decent amount of upper- and middle-class people who live here, but you don't see many people from the lower class.

People are genuine friends here and the park district offers so many activities. The teachers in D203 are professional and teach a “can’t do YET” positivity mindset. The downtown makes the city feel small and vibrant. Summer is the best season here with Centennial Beach, swim teams for the kids and outdoor concerts. In winter residents decorated their houses in creative themes with the goal of getting on the Believe Map. There is even a Christmas trolley that drives past the best homes.
