Neighborhood involvement? http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Maxwell-Park-do-young-families-plan-on-staying-Neighborhood-involvement/297675/ From what I've been hearing, a lot of people have moved to Maxwell Park in the last 5 years.&nbsp; I am assuming that many would be professionals and familes priced out of areas like Redwood Heights and Crocker Highlands.&nbsp; Neighborhoods can change for the better and for the worse and I'm interested in hearing from MP residents about the following:<br/><br/>Are there a lot of families with babies and prechool age children in the neighborhood, and do you plan on staying there when your children reach school age?&nbsp; I know that the neighborhood schools do not have great reviews, but like Edna Brewer in Glenview, high parent involvement can change that.&nbsp; <br/><br/>Secondly, are people <u><em>going to be able</em></u> to stay their if they have ARMs that are re-setting?&nbsp; Has this wave already passed?<br/><br/>Last, but importantly, is there a high level of community involvement to keep the neighborhood looking nice and crime low?&nbsp;<br \><br \>1 reply Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:54:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Maxwell-Park-do-young-families-plan-on-staying-Neighborhood-involvement/297675/ 2009-11-13T18:54:00Z Looking for neighborhood information in Upper Rockridge? http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Looking-for-neighborhood-information-in-Upper-Rockridge/229242/ I have developed a neighborhood website in Upper Rockridge.&nbsp; Post events, photos, opinions and find out about what is happening in our neighborhood - neighborhood review, restaurant reviews, schools - content contributions welcome!<br/><a href="http://www.upperrockridge.com/" rel="nofollow">www.UpperRockridge.com</a><br \><br \>2 replies Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:20:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Looking-for-neighborhood-information-in-Upper-Rockridge/229242/ 2009-04-29T18:20:00Z Where can I find the market value of my property as of January 1, 2009?for property tax purpose.
