    "i say it is a pretty amazing neighborhood but i wouldn't walk around here in some areas because there is no sidewalks but there is no crimes and if there are they are minor like house fires and rarely if ever a drug bust but everything is kid friendly, nice neighbors, and most importantly amazing schools for kids. For elderly and retiring it is a great neighborhood to move into because there is no loud music, nice and peaceful quietness and nature all around. We also have a historic house over here called sauer castle. "
