    "I live here. This is a great neighborhood. I live on a cul-de-sac, so traffic is limited (which is great), but in general traffic if fairly slow. It is a short drive to nearly everything in town. There is a big park across the street, great for walking dogs and seeing the occasional moose. It has a big field for frisbee playing or picnics. The neighborhood is a short 5 minutes to the Far North Bicentennial Park with its miles of trails. It a quiet, mellow, established neighborhood. "
