    "We haven’t had any community events that I know of. However, Halloween has always been a fun community filled evening with many houses that partake in handing out candy and people decorating their homes for the kids. It’s a good, quiet neighborhood though and everyone always seems very friendly in passing "

    "Love this area! Traffic is busy but surprisingly VERY quiet!!! HUGE back yards! convenience stores, grocery stores, crafts, movies, schools just a block away and school is fantastic!, day cares, car wash, clothing stores, churches, markets and amazing restaurants, fast foods, businesses of all sorts and all needed is all within a 2 mile range!! Neighbors are extremely helpful. All are police officers, firemen, nurses, day care workers, babysitters, construction workers, business owners, carpenters, electricians, mason men etc. LOVE it here!!! I wish my husband hadn't been transferred across the U.S. I hate to sell this home!!!!"
