    "We have an excellent 9 hole golf course, newer outdoor swimming, parks & trails, river access and more. Our school is excellent offering a new elemetary school and 1 to 1 mac laptop to student ratio from 7-12.. We are a pet friendly small community with little crime. We offer easy access to I-80. We have lots of community involvement and some good restaurants. It is a very clean and charming small town. More than a bedroom community - You can enjoy many things here. "
  • Donna F.
    "Excellent schools here; shopping is what one might expect from a smal town; adequate but not great. Friendly, clean community."
