    "Easy access to the interstate or highways from any part of town. I usually commute to West Des Moines and it's usually an easy 40-minute drive. Still plenty close to the Des Moines area without being in it. "

    "Many, many dog owners and lovers in the neighborhood. Dog walking is a common, daily activity for most of these people. Even non dog owners seem to like to see the dogs out and about. Owners are conscientious about picking up after their pets."
