    "Access to public transportation if needed, feels a lot more like a neighborhood and not part of the larger city. Plenty of access to the lake, hiking and biking trails, parks. Excellent place to live regardless of what stage of life you are in. "

    "Lake walk is close by and city buses stop across the road many times a day so you wouldn’t necessarily need a car for transportation. Grocery store 1 mile away from my home and 3 gas stations, Coffee shop, post office, couple restaurants, snap fitness, parks, doctors office, chiropractor and dentist all within a mile but mostly within a couple blocks! Very convenient place to live!"
