    "It’s an amazing close knit neighborhood with lots of families, nice old couples & young professionals. The train is very easy & only 30 minutes to Manhattan. It’s all the conveniences of being almost in the city but living in a large colonial house with a yard instead of a tiny show box at the samr cost."
