I know you said you can't base Elizabeth off of some pictures. But here's some pictures I would like for you to see of Elizabeth. Although I don't have any of Westminster. Oh well this is for you to see how Elizabeth looks like.


Elizabethpics1's photos and albums on webshots


PS sorry if I have Linden or Westfield they're not sections of Elizabeth.
Actually, I wouldn't go anywhere near those townhouses. None of them are selling, so Elizabeth decided to make them Section 8 housing. Many of the residents who used to live in the Pioneer Homes projects they knocked down now occupy those townhouses. Not exactly your ideal neighbors.

I would say Elmora Hills is the safest area in Elizabeth. Pretty much isolated away from any real rough neighborhoods. Westminster has beautiful housing but is very close to that Oakwood Plaza complex aka Pierce Manor.

The portion of Elizabeth that borders Union is nice. I work near there and there are few, if any, incidents (at least on our lists)

They've been saying that for YEARS. Ain't gonna happen. You have the same problem as other northern towns. Nice areas surrounded by **** areas.
