    "Every summer downtown they shut the streets and have what they call the taste of Clarkston. The local restaurants sell bite size treats of the food they cook. You buy tickets and each item takes different amounts of them. Thousands show up for the two day event!!"

    "We have awesome views, lots of very old trees, friendly neighbors, most homes have 1 acre lots, homes are all kept up well with professional landscaping and no sidewalks. The pond in the neighborhood is more of a nature preserve and all the common areas which can’t be built on, all add to the ambience of this community. "
