    "Salisbury Hill is such a wonderful community. I've been living here for 5 years, enjoying every minute of it. It's beautiful, tranquil and quiet. Side walk lined by trees and flowersHOA takes care of everything. Not only landscape, lawn cares, but also power wash your deck, sidings, snow plow the road and driveway, even shuffle clean your front porch!! Neighbors are mostly retired professionals (professors, doctors, lawyers, etc), they are best neighbors you can ask. No second thought to leave fir a ling vacation. "
