Northwood Reviews
Rating 4.17 out of 5 41 reviews
This area is typically quite affluent, and there is low crime rate, one of the lowest in the nation for a city of its size. There isn't much excitement, and the environment is generally relatively relaxed. People are not extremely introverted or extroverted, but mostly friendly. The drivers are not the best, and traffic can be a problem while commuting. Public transportation is not great, and most people drive. Students may walk or bike to school, but a vast majority of them are transported by car. The roads are well maintained, the schools are relatively nice, and there are several small hubs of entertainment, though, again, nothing too exciting.
This area has one of the lowest violent crime rates in the city. Unfortunately, drug use is prevalent among students, mostly high schoolers, who are most likely over- or under-stimulated. But aside from that, there are rarely issues, and if something does happen, the police are usually there within minutes.
I would live here again, it is a very safe place to live with many opportunities and I have been able to receive an excellent education. The only problem with this area is that there is lots of construction because so many people want to move to Irvine.
