    "I live in the Verdana luxury apartment complex so I can't speak for the whole town obviously. The apartment itself is very size. However the complex management leaves something to be desired. Dog poop is easy to step on and their priorities in amenities is bizarre. They don't tape off a playground or bbq area but shutdown a tennis court? And neverrrr have the gate down, even though we pay for it."

    "I’ve lived here forever. My whole neighborhood was built brand new we moved in when I was two and everyone who moved in also had young children and we got to grow up together. It has given me my best friend who will be my maid of honor, godmother to my first child. A safe and fun childhood. The leave your house when it’s light out and be home by dinner, use your creativity kind of childhood. Trick or treating in a huge group with the whole neighborhood. A big backyard for all of our family birthday parties. All of my schools, where I had halloween parades, Christmas concerts, learned how to drive in the parking lot, extreme school pride football games. Summers in the pool and at the beach, trips to the city with multiple options for easy travel. In short, Howell has given me and my family the most beautiful memories my whole life. I couldn’t imagine growing up anywhere else. I would stay here forever if I could. "
