This hwy will take you to the most fun mall in the city. It has bumper cars, miniature golf course and so much more. It is like being at a amusement park all in one. It has stores, lots of eating places and the road near there comes to be a hang out for kids. It is a safe area some and fun. Going there will take you back to being a kid once you arrive to the place of your chose once of the hwy.

Many of my friends and families in this area. It is a quiet road for most part and area again is very nice. It will take you to the Indian reservation which is not far from the road. They are very nice people and love there land. Schools in the area are to be good and you can find local eateries and parks to hang out with the kids.

Homes are nice and so beautiful as well. Nice family area to raise the kids and schools are great in the area as well. It is residential but yet it has some parks and local eating places as well. Good inner city to live and raise the family. Parks are nice and folks there are nice to. Lots of areas to cover and yet feel as if not a enough time in a day. LOL!

Busy, fun and scenery is wonderful in this area. Lots of dessert landscaping and it takes you i believe up to Pinicale Peak or one of those. Been a long time since i lived there. I remember allot of it though as the people and schools were pretty good. At times busy during rush hours but other than that it is a pretty normal road and lots of places to go and transportation is good.

Near freeways, stores, malls and local businesses. People are pretty nice and it will also take you to where you need to most of the time. It is a busy street but lovely area id have to add. Living in Phoenix was fun but at times you feel like you were on a race track. It is very hectic but yet has its charms.

The area is nice and there is a wonderful horse track down in this area as well. Malls, eating places and takes you to the freeway to make access anywhere else in the city if so desired. I would of have liked living in the area but we lived more in Scottsdale growing up. I enjoyed going down this street and visiting areas that were very nice.

Van Buren is an area with the dog track as well as many bars in the area. The area is not safe at all due to high crime and prostitution that i remember when visiting the area with my parents growing up. My parents use to go to the dog track all the time so now and then id go. The area id stay close to those i knew such as the security guards i knew as well.

Bell Road i have to say is a busy street and it takes you to areas of middle class and many shops to. This road is a good road to travel on when needing to go a restaurant or if you live on the street the area is not bad. Though id be careful during certain hours of the day due to heavy traffic on this road since it does come off the freeway if not mistaken.Check it out when going there and see for yourself.

This street takes your breath away i have to say. There are your very rich and beautiful neighborhoods to fine parks and nightlife. Homes are rich with character there and people are really nice. It is a great place to live with kids and families. The road is pretty safe and kept up as well. Viewing of the mountains around is a joy and so wonderful. I loved living there during my teen years but as i got older i started to appreciate more of my surroundings and the folks there.

Camelback Road is a busy street. Some residential and good schools. There are plenty of shops and malls on this street. As well as many night life places and eating restaurants to pick from. It is a very rich area in some parts and middle class in some. This road will take you close to downtown from what i remember and is a pretty well built and lite street in the evenings.

I lived near McDowell Road for a few years during my college days. I went to one of the community colleges in Mesa. The road is busy and not really quiet id have to say from what i remember. It was a good place to find places to eat, hanging out and going to schools in the areas. You will also find a mall on the street and plenty of retail stores.

Generally on this street it will take you off the beaten path. This is a nice quiet and good people neighborhood. People are nice and some well to be desired in people skills lol. This street runs in a zig zag in away. It cuts off on New York Avenue and goes to Hickman road then you have to go around to a few other streets to get to the other side of 57th. Homes are nice and people are great. There are schools in the area and good ones, kids allot of them if you have a family this is the place to raise kids here in Des Moines. I am from the Midwest but did live in the Southwest for 26yrs to say. I love being back here as this is the place i wanted to raise my kids. It is friendly and not allot of noise down this street at all.

Bus for kids to school and local bakery near by us as well as parks, hair dressers and church and more. I love it here and would say to anyone who asked to visit here specially in the spring and summer time. Also the best time is fall ohhh my it is beautiful up here. Yes cool in the winter lol but hey we all have to deal with weather some where some how.

5th Avenue downtown is the street and home of the Wells Fargo Arena as well as taking you directly to the downtown scenes. The vibe down there is fun and people crack me up sometimes lol. The area is fun and yes there is some living residential to now in the downtown Des Moines. There is a new central library in downtown now and it is great. 5th avenue will take you back up to Mercy Hospital if needed and to night life as well such as some nice local bars with great food and historical neighborhood's as well. If you like the hussle and fast pace i have to say for Des Moines it got it.

There is plenty of buses and cabs to find all over when you are down town so you do not have to worry to much on that. IT is also nice to just walk around down there since there is so much to see.

Hickman Road is the street you take when you get off the I 235 Freeway to take anywhere you need. This street goes along ways from one end to the other. Going south on Hickman road you will find grocery stores, retail, car dealerships, fast food, business and much more. There are homes off Hickman Road and parks as well. The street is so long that it takes a bit to go from one end of the street to other. You keep going south on Hickman you will run into a hospital Broadlawns and car washes and well just allot of homes and care homes for seniors.

This is a family area and some areas are rough but not bad. As you go south towards some areas of the street they are safe but neighborhoods get into areas that are with families but lower income families as well.

IT is a busy street i have to say and some bus lines gos down the street. Id say visit if you get up here to Des Moines it is fun to say lol.

Urbandale Avenue is a wonderful residential and family area. There is a wonderful park name of Riley Park on Urbandale avenue near my home where my kids and i go to with my husband there dad. It is a great place and people are so nice. There are allot of homes and bus line as well goes down this street. IT takes you to many places the buses do and takes you to malls, stores, back to the residential area of where you live. Area is nice and locals are great. There are large walk paths some parts of the area with bike trails and joggers area. People do walk on them to lol but sometimes you will see the bike rider and jogger and family walking.

There are convenient stores near and on the street as well. Few business but not allot. Just a nice neighborhood and some nice sit down restaurants and work places . Basically anything again you need it is here.

Check it out sometime.

Merle Hay Road is a mix of residential and business street. There is one large church i live near it behind it that is on Merle Hay Road. Homes along the street and kids in the area as well. Schools not far which my daughter goes to one of them here. Near our house. If ever in Des Moines go to Merle Hay Mall which is Merle Hay Road on the same street. You will find restaurants fast food ones, sit down restaurants, car wash and stores. IT is a loud street busy lol but yet you will find allot of what you may need on this street in this area.

Traffic is heavy at times but not to bad most times. Very upbeat area id have to say since living near the street.

If you want nothing but country scenery for awhile visiting Lincoln this is the street to take. It is fresh air, blue skies when clear and just nice. You want some quiet good place to go. Taking a drive down this road you will see farms, fields and more fields lol. Getting out of the car will be a treat if you love the country. Smelling the air, seeing the clear blue skies nothing like back in the west coast ha ha.. Smog is what you want go that way lol. If you want fresh air, clean air and nothing but blue skies you got the right area. The street is quiet and not busy. Folks we met were nice out there and very kind. This road will also take you back to the city if needed to.

You can pretty much take any road out there it will take you back. But if you want to really visit Lincoln then this is the area to see. Just to see it say you saw whether you will hate it or not you can say you saw a farm lol.

Saunders Avenue is all business and you will see a school bus lot with buses. If you need anything in the area you should be able to find it. Most of it is business with maybe a few homes. It is a somewhat quiet street not to busy only during business hours of work. People are nice and as i have i mentioned in prior posts that folks out there are really nice. Nice area and the street takes you to where ever you need to go even if you get lost the street will take you most will take you to a main road or freeway.

Going through on different streets while visiting Lincoln you will see allot of different areas, meaning very rich areas nice homes, middle class homes, business and more. Lincoln Nebraska has a diverse culture that goes on there. This road we drove on Antelope Circle and others were very nice. Area was nice, clean and not nosy that i noticed or heard. You will see some farms in the distance of the area and parks and allot of nice places to just see and visit.

Lincoln Nebraska is a great place to live, raise a family. Schools out there are really good. People are down to earth and things out there are not to high in price.

This area is half half id say if i remember right of homes, business, fast food restaurants. I also believe i saw a park. I went through this area again when moving back home to the Midwest. We stopped at a fast food place and sat for a bit. Enjoying really the scenery and people were pretty nice there. I would visit Lincoln again it is a pretty nice place to live and visit as i said. People are nice and streets are a bit confusing in some areas. Not bad though. Traffic there is so so id say from light to busy but not heavy traffic that i seen. I would recommend this area to anyone to live and visit allot of places to see and parks and malls not far from there.

I have been through Lincoln Nebraska about 5yrs ago when moving back to the Midwest from the southwest and west coast area. Living in those areas for 26 yrs was say interesting. Now back to the Interstate i would not recommend anyone living off or near it really. Allot of noise, cars, trucks carrying live cargo and average trucker with merchandise or food product, etc. I would say visit the city and the Interstate will take you about anywhere you want to go. Easy access to and from it .

All in all there are places to visit there for sure and the Interstate will get there faster then most the side roads main roads in the city.

This is a family friendly area and if you just want to drive down the street and park to walk you may and find a park to go to or play a game in the park with your kids..Or just stare at all the trees and homes that are just fabulous to look at..

Quiet and not allot of traffic and if you just walk around on the sidewalks it is like you are in a movie lol as it is so beautiful there.

I had stayed here with family who live on this street which it made very convenient to transportation and parks.Lots and lots of houses and omgosh they are tall and huge just to look at you have to lift your head up lol..

Cross Over Drive takes you to the streets you want to take to the beach or downtown San Francisco to parks near the golden gate..I would not live on this street but i would use this street to take me to the places i want to go in the city..

Traveling around this city there are so many streets and some streets will take you around and to anywhere you want..GO down Grand Avenue to say you did and see the most the city has to ofter.

Busy street and i would not recommend anyone living with kids on this street as it is mainly a road to take you to other roads and tourist places.

You want to people watch this is the place and street to do so..Sitting at the cafe having a coffee or sandwich or even shopping it will bring you to watching the most fun people anywhere.It is very diverse and fun fun for families and kids..

When driving around in the city of San Francisco you find yourself on streets you thought you would not.You drive around and go down streets that have so much richness and beauty of the neighborhood and vibe off the people..

Visit every street in San Francisco i say you will have adventure but well worth it.

Golden Gate Avenue is busy but it also goes to places that you would just enjoy the scenery and the just the time of your life.Golden Gate Avenue is the street that will take you to anywhere you want to go in the city almost.

I remember the first time i went down that street the windy part and my aunt almost got dizzy lol she had to sit down since we had a van you could stand up lol.Well in her case she laid down and did not look till we were down the street LOL! If you like Roller Coasters and windy rides you will love this street.

Go visit and do not pass up the street at all..

This street has it all.Close to markets,schools,parks and great places to live as well.Quiet and peaceful even believe it or not.It was a nice to place to live again for a short time but i would highly suggest visiting this street and if wanting to live there go for it.

Going to San Francisco you need to visit this street and beauty of its nature and parks so close as you can smell the ocean not far away from the street makes it even most wonderful.San Francisco has a natural beauty i feel that this city gives off by the people and the historic aspects of the area as well..

It was fun to live on this street for the brief time i did..I lived in California for 7 yrs or so and got to go up to this area for awhile as i also visited this street area when my family and i would go on vacations

The vibe of the people omgosh they are so nice and so down to earth.Near shopping and market street so you can find most everything there off and on this street..

I Have been to Larkin Street which is close to so much like parks for families,markets not far and attractions for those who want to go there and visit..I find the people there so much fun and down to earth as well.The vibe of the area i felt was awesome and people were relaxed and not so stressed.

Raising a family i would recommend as it is a good place and safe as i remember.I enjoyed my visit when i went to San Francisco i loved it there..

Living close to this area and street we would use this street to go to the beach or inland areas of the city.Homes and stores as well as finding again eating restaurants were not hard to find.Hospitals again near by and motels were in this area as well for travelers and folks who lived in them some.

I would recommend young couples in this area to start out and maybe families but i would see more couples around then families back then in the 90s when i was there.

I briefly lived on Orange Avenue for a few months.It was nosy and loud as traffic was always heavy due to the Crystal Church was on that street.It was a very busy street most the time and i would not recommend folks with kids to leave near or on this street.

It is close to a hospital and some eating restaurants.Near the freeway and over passes to get to most other places you may need to.

Busy street and night life is very busy and fun.Got to be safe though but it is close to hotels and Disneyland and bus lines when needed.There always something going on in this street as it is a place i would not recommend living on or near to near.

Dinning places to find and souvenir shops all over the place to buy your things you want to share with family back home.

Living in Orange County for 5 yrs or so i enjoyed the area some.I always had access to near by restaurants and other parks and things to do.Living on Fullerton Blvd was okay had it's moments and had its issues.

It was a good place to find most anything from antique stores and vintage shops and state parks not far and very green area very green rolling hills.

The street itself was busy and had traffic most the time but not to bad.

Living on Venice Blvd was fun i mean really fun.The people were fun and some where characters for sure.I always felt safe down that street for some reason and enjoyed it very much as i would walk to the bus and go downtown Santa Monica allot.I would really recommend this area for families and singles,couples and retirees.

Fun restaurants and parks to go to as well as tons of shops and eating places to go type to.Bus line is close by and beach is down the street.

Living off and on Newport Beach Blvd was fun.We were close to shopping,theaters and bus lines to go anywhere you wanted to.Grocery stores were close and the people were great most of them.The cost of living there at that time was not to bad and the street nose was not to bad at night as you could not really hear much when inside your home.

Living there had it's moments but other than that it was a good place to have families and allot of parks and close access to the beach and boardwalk down in Newport.

Living on this street is unique and fun id have to say..I would recommend young couples to families to live in this area.It is friendly and takes you all the way to the coast to and back up to Anahiem area.I lived here when i had my first child and i loved it down there allot.It was very close to eating areas and schools,stores and anything you wanted it was pretty close by not to far.

This is a very busy street allot of buses run down this street as well as there are allot of business and malls as well.It takes you to Redondo Beach Blvd and near Galleria Mall.This street i would not recommend anyone to live on or really to close to as it busy and allot of activity on this blvd as well.

Good street to take to go dinning or shopping or most anything else but to leave near or on i would not recommend in my opinion.

Torrance Blvd is a busy street id have to say with allot of eating places near by as well as shopping and close to the beach.The area is beautiful and very friendly from what i remember.I would recommend really anyone to live near this blvd as it is close and convenient to shops,movie theaters and dinning and the beach..

It is noisy at times during the day but not to bad during the night if you live off the street.If you live on the street it self then it is not to bad mainly apartments living on the street area of Torrance Blvd in Torrance California.
