For all the years I have been residing in this neighborhood, my experience growing up has been rather successful. Days in Richmond Hill are filled with ordinary citizens of various backgrounds going about their ordinary lives. Particularly, the typical summer view consists of children eagerly waiting in front of the ice cream truck and the occasional fireworks at night. One of the brightest aspects of Richmond Hill is safety, as you can peacefully venture out on the streets any time of day without the fear of putting your own life at risk. Therefore, nightly walks play a major role in my life during the summer. Despite this factor, I believe Richmond Hill could improve in the available sites and stores, for the nearest park isn't very accessible and the only stores we really have are grocery stores. Regardless, I wouldn't mind continuing to live here for another few years.
I like the environment and the access to public transportation. There are public schools, groceries, etc, but I would like to see more cafes, discount stores, restaurants, retail stores.
The neighborhood has taken a turn for the worst these past few years. Parking is an issue, safety at night as a woman is questionable. The pros are that there are convenience stores open 25/7, public transportation nearby.
