For 21 years, I have been blessed to live in my neighborhood. This is due to several factors. The first reason is due to environmental consciousness. According to "patch of earth.com", my neighborhood was ranked #1 in most environmentally aware neighborhood in the nation. From an early age I learned the environmental benefits of composting. The neighborhood council voted "yes" on providing composting bins that would be recycled/handled by the Minneapolis Waste Management.
Another perk of living in this neighborhood was the parks. In 1889 there was a meeting between Charles Loring and Horace Cleveland, (two businessmen who had an impeccable love for nature), that helped structure the park scene in Minneapolis. They demanded that every house be 6 blocks away from a park. With that being said, I have been able to be reap the benefits from them by participating in sports activities from 8u baseball to varsity tennis.
If I had the option to choose to live here again, I would absolutely jump at that opportunity. The atmosphere is diverse, eco-friendly, and clean. Everyone here is extremely friendly, and that reputation tends be something that is very hard to find in a lot of communities. I am confident that my neighborhood will continue to prosper in the areas of diversity, eco-friendliness, and good maintenance.

The four seasons are very prominent! At the height of summer it can get to be over 100 degrees, and the threat of severe weather (thunderstorms/tornados) is very likely. However, we rarely get an actual tornado in the city. The falls are beautiful with lots and lots of color, but the winter is harsh. Frequent snow storms and temperatures in the single digits or below zero usually describes December through March. But the neighborhood is still lively and active during the cold weather! Winter essentials are warm and durable snow boots, winter jacket, and gloves/hat/scarf, etc.
My neighborhood has never had the reputation of being riddled with crime. However, our neighborhood has had crime streaks in regards to theft and break-ins. The people in my neighborhood are very attentive and are conscious of their property and the ones that surround them. The police can be fairly punctual when notified. At times I have heard they have been slow.
