The community parks are the jewels which are found all over the land and usually serve as a reunion place where children play as their parents look after them closely and some old people who find table places and read newspapers and talk about what has happened during the day.

 

The coffee culture of the neighborhood has gained popularity over the past years and small cafes have become the favorite spots to meet people and have business meetings, talk to a friend or two, or secretly read a book in absolute silence. These and other businesses have established a social framework promoting intercommunication and establishment of communities that make Clifton seem more of a tight knit community rather than another busy neighbourhood.

 

A low crime rate is one of Clifton greatest selling features as the streets are well lit and every street is regularly patrolled by the police and in general the community looks out to ensure that the people can feel safe even at unearthly hours. Established by the presence of both the modern residential units and traditional houses, flanking the road, the peaceful lanes provide the families with an opportunity to flourish and children to grow up, having both a sense of independence and protection.

 

The living costs are kept low as a result and the infrastructure is such that the residents hardly need to go out of their way to meet their day to day needs, social tapping through the numerous social areas at the disposal of the residents tap range in variety and opportunities, which would lead to unlimited recreation opportunities and also the community involvement as well, which makes Clifton a complete neighborhood in every conceivable sense.
