If a friend was about to move into your neighbourhood, what's the one thing you'd tell them?

B Natural answer

I'd tell them to keep an eye on parking the first few days, because the spots get taken quickly in the evening. I'd also mention that it's a quiet after nine kind of area, so it's good if they want calm nights, but they shouldn't expect much noise or nightlife. The best thing, though, is that it's a very walkable area, so you can get to the café, pharmacy, and small grocery store without much trouble. Once they get used to the streets, it is a pretty easy place to live.
