    "We have awesome views, lots of very old trees, friendly neighbors, most homes have 1 acre lots, homes are all kept up well with professional landscaping and no sidewalks. The pond in the neighborhood is more of a nature preserve and all the common areas which can’t be built on, all add to the ambience of this community. "
