    "The Oak Hill Community is walkable to elementary, middle and high schools. We are walkable to the train station about 1.5 -3 miles via paved walkway. We are 15 minutes to many shorelines, and adjacent to a county park filled with trails, small playground and community history buildings. We are 4 miles to all types of shopping. We have an open, minor annual cost voluntary Association membership conducting many adult and children's activities throughout the year included in the $30 membership fee. These are excellent ways to mix and meet people. These are some of the many features of an excellent area called Oak Hill."
