"It’s a retirement/adult community. There are very few children. And we like it that way. The main activity here is sailing. I would not live here if my children were in my home. Everybody loves dog though "

"This is a unique village. While a thriving community of retirees, it offers a lot of events of musical, artistic and craft varieties. There are classes in art, crafts, physical fitness and many others for all levels. The people are friendly and always there for their neighbors. There is a good mix of been heres( natives) and come here’s (retirees). So glad we discovered Oriental."
