Re: Coxen Hole. It is pretty safe during the day but your safety may be questionable at night. And anyway, mostly all you are going to do there is go shopping at Eldon's Supermarket or at Plaza Mar - and both of those places are definitely safe. ... Read More

West End is nice to visit but a little too crowded and busy a place to live in as far as I'm concerned. Many of us prefer a quieter and more secluded location - unless you are really, really into hitting the bar at Sundowner's every night ... Read More

Is West End a "nice" place to live? Depends on what you like. It is a nice enough place - to visit, but living there can get to be a bit much. It is somewhat too busy and crowded and noisy for me. I tried it but ended up moving to a more ... Read More
