"I’ve lived in this neighborhood for almost 13 years. The neighbors are nice. People keep their front yards clean and people clean up after their dogs when taken on walks. I love the elementary school, you can walk to it with your children. The streets are not busy and kids can play outside and ride bikes safely. "
