    "Nicest neighborhood we have ever lived in, after 20+years in military towns. Very quiet and lots of friendly people. Some rentals in the area, so that could be an issue in the future. Safe area for now, but with Ronald Reagan building up, there are sure to be lots of issues. The schools are amazing and worth the higher taxes in the area. "
