    "Very few people pick up after their dogs do their business. There aren’t very many designated areas to let your dogs off leash , such as a dog park."

    "My neighborhood is located very near schools, shopping , the movie theater and downtown shops and restaurants. Also within walking distance of the transit center. It is also on a dead end street in a small multi racial area. About half of the homes are owner occupied with the other half being long term rentals. It is a very friendly neighborhood where we all help and look after one another. Just the other day a neighbor came by and helped trim our shrubs. And another brought us a beautiful bunch of evergreen boughs. My house smells great. 🙂 I also enjoy that our neighborhood is very mixed in ages. From a baby under 1 to small children,teenagers,young adults, parents and grandparents. The homes are also varied in age and style. Some built in the 40’s and the newest is not quite finished."

    "Lots of druggies and I wouldn’t recommend walking around at walking around at night. Kids fall under bad influence fast. Schools are very positive but the staff doesn’t not handle personal credits right. "

    "People go pretty fast down this road so I would make sure you don’t let your dog out of the fence unless they’re leashed. Shelton is a good place for dogs but not really IN town, more so, a little outside of town."

    "I've lived here for ten years and still don't feel welcomed. There are very distinct groups in this town and they aren't very welcoming to new people. I am definitely looking forward to moving out of this town. it's really too bad because this area needs a shot in the arm, desperately"

    "A small neighborhood where most of us know each other. There is only one way in and out so that detracts the criminal element. The kids are safe in their yards."
