"Nice neighborhood"
It's quite a nice neighborhood to live in - there are two parks or three parks on California St (one park even has a public swimming pool open during summer). It's quite diverse - around 40% white and 35% hispanic. Horner Park provides a quiet retreat and is good for walking, jogging, playing tennis, baseball, basketball, football, soccer, you name it. Having said that, many picnickers come into the park and make a mess, so the park isn't too clean. But the neighborhood, being generally safe (unless you wander the streets at 2 a.m. in the morning), should be quite enjoyable to you and your family.
