    "I lived in this neighborhood for 4 years and couldn’t be happier about the environment, plenty of parks to walk to in the mornings with the YMCA in walking distance. Would recommend to anyone looking for a well put together community that’s quiet. I even still own my home in the area because it’s just that great. "

    "great neighborhood... two annoying dogs bark all the time to the east of me. 2 doors down to my west our neighbors lose their dog all the time and constantly telling their child to get out of the road. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ other than that its GREAT! 😉"
