    "I have lived in Locust Town Center for 2 years, and love it. All of the people I have met are friendly, and there is a ton of outdoor space. More and more sidewalks all the time (as they are still building.) And I can't keep up with all of the new businesses and amenities that Locust is adding."

    "Nowhere to walk dogs. Very few sidewalks, walking paths, nature trails or parks. It is not much of an outdoorsy type of community. Everyone seems to huddle inside vacuum sealed from nature with their AC going full blast "
