    "The quiet setting on the evening traffic, quiet down the wildlife in the backyard. The trains that go by in the back not something you see every day houses are somewhat far apart, so it makes it hard to get to know your neighbors, but I did meet one very nice elderly gentleman Close proximity, and driving distance to stores, markets and restaurants"
