    "Most homes here have at least one dog and most owners and dogs are quite friendly. Technically it is not allowed to let your dog run off leash, but there are a handful of folks who do and they sometimes meet up in the park so the dogs can play together. There are excellent walkers and daycare when you need to travel or work it’s a great place to have a dog or five!"

    "I drive everywhere but the trains and buses are so easy to access in my neighborhood. Public transportation is so popular among my neighbors. Most of them use it to get to work every morning. The only down side is the trains don’t run on the weekends. "
