    "For over 20 years of living in Windsor Terrace I have witnessed People from outside the neighborhood bringing their children to Trick Or Treat alongside the kids from our neighborhood. Living in Windsor Terrace feels like living in a pedestrian friendly suburb 3 blocks away from Prospect Park and NYC living. I would move if I could find a better place to live. "
