North Central is quiet overall, as the streets are usually reasonably tranquil, although that is not the case around Septima Clark Expy or the railway line. Although North Central does not contain any green spaces, parks are very well-situated in nearby neighborhoods, resulting in them being easy to get to from most locations within the neighborhood.
