"Safe place, you must drive everywhere. Lots of small town politics. Schools are ok. Groceries and everyday things are expensive. Beautiful area where there is lots of open space. "

"Most people don’t pick up after their dogs while walking them. This is a common complaint in the area. Some people will clean up after their dog then throw it in your trash bin by the side of the road. That’s even worse!"
