    "Beautiful, lush area to live in. Big front and back yards. Upper middle class with lotss of retirees. BUT... if you are not known, or from out of state/town, neighbors tend to get uppity and look down your nose. White community with a sparse mixture of Bland and Hispanic that are "tolerated". Good Schools but none in walking distance. Gang activity surrounds the outskirts of this area but police patrols are often seen along the streets. Nice place to live, with tremendously high Utility Bills."
