    "I drive my personal vehicle because we don’t have public transit in LW. It’s 16 miles to where I work but it usually takes me 45 minutes because there are too many people on the road. Hwy 27 is like a racetrack and you literally are living on the edge when you drive on it. Too many people for this small area."

    "the area offers so many family oriented no cost adventures to discover together. from a simple bike or walk around a lake admiring and learning the natural habitats of many animals which they also call the area "home". from a picnic at a public county Park with access to many nature trails and spring feed crystal clear lakes. to a boat ride or aquatic activities. local well manicured parks filled with genuine family fun, like a game of horseshoes, baseball, soccer, chess, hopscotch, schuffle board, to a simple swing or jungle gym. well maintained park benches located tranquil scenery or just along your chosen path. rolling hills which make any outdoor adventure enjoyable. yet all the daily ammenties you could ever need only located minutes from all local housing areas. major highways connect you to any north, south, east, or west location if you should choose to visit or travel to for work. you are always within reach of true heaven here on Earth and a safe relaxing environment that your family can appreciate to call home. a very rare pristine town with old world Florida architect that printed postcards can"

(drive 3 1/2 miles further than necessary the a right turn followed by a right turn basically back tracking where you just came from"
