    "Dogs are not allowed on the lake or in or on any public spaces. I would say this is not a dog friendly community. Plus you’re not allowed to fence yards to your dogs have to remain inside your house, and the only walking is a very narrow roads with those sidewalks."

    "Not much traffic at all, nice scenery all around and a nice river 10 minutes down the road you can swim in. The only thing is that the houses are very close together in the gated area along with not being able to ride motorcycles and paying to park them at the front gates annually. "
