Stevenson High school has been a big draw and was phenomenal for my kids.Everything you need is within 10 minutes in any direction. More people than not have dogs and we all stop and chat with each other.The neighborhood is very diverse and we all benefit from that.Every kid has either played soccer, flag football, baseball or was in dance and many of us become friends for life."
