    "I know my neighbors by name and we often gather for conversations and have group get togethers. It is on a private road, so all the neighbors take care of plowing, road maintenance. We also communicate through a private social media site. Everyone is very friendly. It is an unincorporated area which present challenges, but we present a solid front when working with the county."
