    Ive been living in Springfield Gardens, Queens for 2 years now and there are lots of improvements needed. There are only fast food restaurants in the area but the food hung there are plenty of grocery stores nearby. The schools in the area aren't the best unless it's success academy. The police patrol the are regularly.

    I have lived in the same house in Springfield Gardens for all of my life. I have experienced different things of these years such as many car crashes, neighbor hood destruction, and even a shooting. My neighborhood is filled with different types of people on every single block.
    Springfield Gardens is very family oriented. There are a lot of opportunities for a family to prosper here. Everything is close, as there are various stores that you can go to and they aren't far from each other. I would like to see the public schools become funded better.
