 This is the masjid I grew up in, so maybe I'm biased. But I've seen a lot of masajid, and still, if I could pick this one up and plant it wherever I live, I would. The imam is AWESOME, supportive, understanding, open, and kind, and has done an amazing job of balancing between varied Islamic views in the community. He's the glue that holds it together, truly.
The masjid also has a dedicated core group of volunteers, both men and women (and children!) who give generously of their time to make it a true community center for the Muslims there. The prayer building has a huge multipurpose room directly behind the prayer hall that during large events becomes the women's prayer area. This is OK in terms of space, but the khutba/prayer will echo and sometimes make it difficult to hear. Plus, the women's "entrance" is in the back, by the bathroom, and the doors are often locked. Still, I've never felt there was a problem with me using the main entrance. Overall... my favorite masjid ever :)

 I visited this center some time ago in connection with a wedding. The gender arrangement seemed better than most mosques. The imam appears to help and counsels both genders in his community.
