    "Meadow Wood is unique in that there is no HOA and few restrictions on things like yards, paint colors on houses, etc. It is an older neighborhood with nearly all the homes built by the same builder. It's likely you will see many houses with the exact same or mirror images of your floor plan, but it gives you great ideas when it comes to decorating."

    "There is a nice path system throughout the flood plain areas. In addition, many of the yards in the area are fairly large with a lot of room to roam. For dogs that need wide open areas, there are a few parks in the area where dogs can play. As a dog owner, it's terrific!"

    "It can be challenging to get to the Tech Center in that there are basically only three ways via car. Traffic in that direction can be an issue. However, there is a new light rail station only about a 5-10 minute drive away which can get you to most major work locations."
