    "Very quiet, but close to the highway for the commuters. No public transportation beyond school buses, which isn't good for anyone who doesn't drive. Mainly restaurants and hotels are what keep the town thriving, but there are some great hole in the wall shops."

    "This area, known as Walker Pond, is an "association" development centered on one side of a lake with a state park on the other side. The neighborhood is the greatest around for several reasons. The association dues are approx. $200/year and includes resident use of two beaches with playground equipment for children, boat docks, dedicated swimming areas, volleyball, a ball field, tennis courts, and a horse stable. The area has approx 125 homes and is extremely safe for chidren playing outside. (Cars do not pass through to get to anywhere else.) It is a wonderful family neighborhood! The association is also quite active with 4th of July events, lobster bakes, children's Christmas parties and last day of school picnics, neighborhood yard sales, etc. It is quiet, idyllic, friendly, and happy!"
