    There is a great sense of feeling part of a neighborhood here. It's safe, quiet and homeowners really take pride in their homes and yards. My bank is nearby as are a couple of cinemas and I can walk to the grocery and pharmacy, as well as some great dining spots. I travel a lot and the airport is a short commute away. It's an easy ride into the city too. I am happy that Roseway is"sleeping giant" area of affordable, charming bungalows and Cape Cods. But it probably won't be for long!

    I like the cultural diversity of the area. There is a great variety of ethnic restaurants nearby. It is also 10 minutes from the Airport and very accessible to downtown.
    The area is okay, quiet enough considering it's proximity to busy streets. It's nice having a library in the neighborhood, but the increase in pot dispensaries and vape shops is slightly ridiculous.
