    "They maintain the roads and sidewalks gold but the people around are very inconsiderate of their neighbors. Just yesterday it was a nice day outside and a group of older kids was sitting on my porch smoking weed and left their donut box on my porch and wrote with my sons chalk that we left out there. I believe it was the same kids who, last year almost burst my door in playing ding dong ditch. And they did it to my neighbors too. 3/10 would not recommend. It sticks too , bc the places are nice but it’s the inconsideration that really tanks this area. "
