| Profile, Statistics and Indicators |
|---|
| Neighborhood Description: | The Burke Heights Neighborhood is a quiet, out-of-the-way small area of the City which is very proud of how long many of the residents have lived here. The neighbors all care a lot about one another. The focal point of our neighborhood is our neighborhood park which we are trying to improve all the time; you can find children playing in it daily. Because we are by the highway, we are very convenient to many areas. Houses sell very quickly because of the well-kept appearance of the neighborhood and the proximity to Highway 30. |
