    "Very quiet neighborhoods where kids can play outside depending on the areas or how close you are to a main road. Surprising amounts of wildlife in some yards (we get groundhogs, woodpeckers, owls, opossums, foxes, chipmunks, bule jays, cardinals, and what seems like and extra dose of mosquitoes). "
