"It’s a very rural area. For the most part, properties here have a yard, so there is a space right at home for your dog - no need to try to locate dog parks or anything like that"

"This street is off of a main route with heavy traffic. There are no sidewalks, and I personally do not walk much around here because it doesn’t feel safe to walk on a road with a 55 mph speed limit, especially without sidewalks"
