Nice neighbourhood with a very friendly community! I've lived here my entire life and have never had any problems with it, other than the staggering housing costs. Although I merely live with my parents it's hard to envision myself staying here even after I move out for college; it's far too expensive.
While it's mostly residential there's a fair amount of places to go, and I'm not disappointed by any means even if the range is limited.

The neighborhood is beautiful. The apartments I live near are extraordinary, they're modern and seem newish. The people who live around me all seem friendly and good citizens. There are a lot of good restaurants in this area and a mall nearby if you want to go shopping. And there are other shopping centers smaller in size but still have a good selection. I love it here.
Westchester is the perfect area for young professionals and young families looking for a safe, lively, and scenic community to be a part of. It strikes the perfect balance between urban and sub-urban living, and while property prices are somewhat high, it is well-worth the ambiance and security of living.
