    "I live in Suntree, 32940. I believe it is the best part of the county. Beach is a short drive away. Best schools of the County. Walking, fishing, biking, golfing. Super clean and safe neighborhood. People walk and everyone is friendly. No crime here. Elementary school is really awesome. Quiet and 1-2 mile to everything you may need. Doctors, restaurants, contry club, river, etc. You don’t lose power during hurricane here. Lots are bigger so you are not into each other’s face. Green and shade by the trees. Love it here! Best middle and high school is zoned for 32940. "
