"Great place if you want a saf,e slower pace life for yourself or family. There are lots of restaurant chains and some top-notch restaurants as well. Nightlife is pretty much nil really as far as clubs, etc although we do have local live theater which is excellent and lots of outdoor areas to enjoy. My husband and I retired here several years ago and like it very much. "
