  • Sara L.
    "Schools are good and lots of young kids around to play with. Roads are safe although some 25 mph roads are busier and tend to have people violating traffic laws. Beware of roads that are off of the highway. This is where this occurs the most. "
  • k
    "Everything is really close! The circle is really close, so you get access to a bunch of stores in literal minutes. Unfortunately that also means you have to take the circle to get anywhere. Duke island park is close. Wegmans is close. You could walk to the mall or the high school if you had an hour to kill and didn’t mind dodging cars. Literally, everything is so close. But it doesn’t feel urban at all. "
  • M
