If you have children or are a single female, this is NOT the place you want to be. I say this as a black woman... that there are young black men doing highly illegal drugs right out in the hallway of my building, which is 1525, all the time. They become very aggitated and aggressive when you see them. So this is obviously unsafe. It really is just a matter of time before one of these men works up the courage to rob one of us. Another prisoner our tax dollars will be paying for! This is too bad because otherwise, this has been a pretty good community. The only other problem is rent has gone up nearly every year since I have been living here. I think the New Salem Village staff is very nice.
