"Unless your physically fit, mowing the lawn is nearly impossible. Not only is it on a cliff, the front yard is concave! One of the side yards floods every time it rains. Both trees in the front yard are dead and ready to fall onto the house down below. The driveway is pitched at a 45 degree downward slope. The carport also floods. The nearest city is fifteen minutes away. It has minimal shopping, nightlife and dining. There are only three parks; all extremely small and lacking. The main street in downtown consists mostly empty store fronts. Worse, just a few blocks away is the largest paper mill in the United States of America. Talk about stink! "
