"It’s a quiet neighborhood no one bothers us. We can leave our kids bikes out in the yard and my husbands boat out in the yard and no one messes with it. "

"It’s quiet. No one bothers anyone. Can trust my neighbors. It’s close to the park and the schools. I can trust that my kids are safe and can walk to school without having to worry about them. I know they’re safe and they have neighbors to watch over them. "

"Nothing really, neighbors don’t mess with me much. There’s plenty of trees for shade, and a lake to look at. But your not allowed to fish it, so I guess that’s unique. "
