My neighborhood

I live in Cherry Avenue. My location is close to Flushing Main Street. Unlike the crowed and noisy place in Main Street, my residential area is a quiet and clean place to live. How can I describe my neighborhood? I would like to share my feelings about what I like and dislike about my neighborhood.

Since I moved to here, I didn’t communicate a lot with my neighbors. I just know that they are both elderly who is properties are in the left and right side of my house. They both lived alone and I don’t quite often see their friends visiting them. I just say “hello!” or “good morning” such polite words to them if I see them. I don’t know much about their families and they don’t know much about mine, too. In this neighborhood, if your family has nothing happen, they just stay the way they are. Obviously, we recognize each other just base on races, such as Korean, Chinese, White, etc.

One reason I like my neighborhood most is that I access many different restaurants for less than 10 minutes by walking. There are some Chinese restaurants, pizza stores, coffee shop and Korean bakery around my house just one or two short block away. If I am hungry, I can order quickly and pick up soon. It is good for me to choose different kinds of food and compare which restaurant’s food makes me most favorable; therefore, choosing delicious foods will maintain good health. Every time, I pass by different restaurants and think about what should I eat for that day. The smell of food is so good. It stimulates my stomach and fulfills my basic need after eating.

Since it is so easy to find the same ethnical group people to talk to, it makes more people to move into this community and join together as neighborhood. I remembered when I moved into this neighborhood first year; there were so many ordinary houses in some blocks away my house. However, after one year, some houses been sold gradually, so the realtors just bought whole block down and rebuilt many Condos, and Mansions in order to sell more people and earn the best profit. As we can see, location is the big attractive reason that encouraged many people bought their apartments here. Thus, my neighborhood is very crowded, and I don’t feel very safe by living here any more. At night, when I walk down the couple blocks to my home, I always hear many noises from some families. I always hear some people find the parking lot by driving back and forth.

In conclusion, that is my residential area; it is a neighborhood includes the variety of diversity.
