    "I've lived here since 1987 and it is much cleaner and a safer community compared to surrounding towns. It is also a good place to raise kids. Residents here take pride in their way of living and overall it shows. Real estate is too high here though. It is a great place to live. Also very low crime activity, that I know of. "
