    "Great place for dog owners! There’s an awesome groomer on Main Street, Buck Creek to run around at, and well maintained sidewalks for casual strolls. Do be aware of fenced dogs, most of the time they’re well behaved but can provoke. Some dog owners do walk without leashes, which can cause issues but most people are super nice about it and immediately leash if need be. "
