"I just moved into this neighborhood awhile ago, and I am delighted with the people and the place in general. Our house is almost identical to this one and we are very happy here. Piggly wiggly, dollar store, gas station, Mcdonalds and Dean Clinic are around the corner. It's safe, quiet and people are wonderful and friendly. I am also able to get to downtown Madison in 36 minutes during the winter "
