    "The neighborhood is very quiet. It's also beautiful and maintained well. The area is up and coming and has a lot of growth of businesses in the area, including a sports complex amd restaurant being built right next to the neighborhood. Best of all, there are already three parks in a five mile radius. The area is also very pet friendly. "
