This area used to be farmland, but after some big houses started going up everything became expensive. Some people like to call it the rich Indian people area. Valpark Shopping Plaza and Grand Bazaar are both in the are so theres plenty of conveniences.
I think this is one of the most beautiful areas in Trinidad. If you ever wish to venture in this area, it will be a pleasure to do so. To describe Valsayn, I would probably use the words, peaceful, idyllic and very scenic. One main factor that may interest others is, I have never heard about any reports on violent crimes taking place in this area. Driving in this area, is like taking a trip to the countryside. As Indianchick mentioned, it is inhabited mainly by individuals of East Indian descent and for that reason alone, Valsayn is often referred to as "rich Indian people" area.
If my hubby and I could afford it, this is one of the areas we do not mind settling in. However, the only downside I have heard is, there seems to be problems sometimes with flooding on Prince Charles street.
The only downside is the sandflies. If you're trying to walk on evenings they can be a real pain.
It would probably be more child friendly if it were made up of families with young children. To me most of the people there are over 40 and closer to 50-60. Plus there is the crime issue, not one wants to be out with their children looking like a target.
