    "The school is not properly set up for academics. Since Covid, it seems the teachers are less face teaching and more computer teaching. Sports- if you were not born here then your child will have a difficult time making teams and fitting in. It’s Daddy’s ball for sure with all sports and clubs. Drugs are in the schools so teach your child what to be careful with. "

    "It's really lovely here. Neighbors are friendly, yards and homes are well maintained, gated community is very safe and allows only residents and renters in. Off the beaten path so there is very little traffic or noise. Views are out of this world. Heard only 3 sirens in 3 years! There are curmudgeons everywhere. ;)"
