    "Very old school family oriented. I was born and raised in west shore park in unincorporated lake county and many of my neighbors are still the same people I grew up with and or their family members, their children, grandchildren, and so on. Awesome area for families to expand and grow old together."

    "Lots of parks and places to walk your dog on a leash. Not and dog parks near by walking distance. I do see many people walking dogs in the neighborhood and most are pretty friendly. Usually the only people that communicate are dog people in this area. Have lived here 8 years and none of my neighbors talk to each other."
