    "My father moved to this area with our step mother shortly after getting married. I have lived away from home since well before this and am only in the neighborhood when visiting on break from school and work. I’m unsure if the community has regular events, but all the neighbors seem to be very kind and pleasant when I have been out on walks or go on runs with Dad. My dad and stepmother seem very pleased with the house and I’ve never heard them say anything negative about the area, but I’ve also never heard them mention any community events."
