    "Near everything in the city but far enough away for small town feel. Everyone knows everyone! Lots of farm lands and farmers who sell their products on their property or the farmers market in town. Safe for kids to go out and about together during the summer. Nice parks that are well maintained and monitored. Great school district! "
