"This neighborhood is close to schools, library, food and recreation. We own one car but rarely drive. I bike to work and my spouse takes a bus less than half a block to the nearest stop. Bus service goes in all directions, all day, every day from this neighborhood. Great neighbors as well."

"It’s cute and it’s quite. I like that it is right on the bike path and that we have Demetral field in our back yard. It’s nice to hear the fun stuff that goes on there. "
