    "I have lived in this neighborhood for 3 years. The townhome community is always quiet and neighbors are always friendly. It is centrally located, so it is an easy commute to places in Durham, but also Chapel Hill and Cary. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The HOA does a great job maintaining the grounds as well. It is a great place for young professionals and/or young families."
