    "We were one of the first home owners on Reflections Dr when it all was new construction in 1999. It was our first home, we lived there for 19 yrs raising our 2 kids starting them at Nancy young elementary when it first opened, then they went to granger middle school and then to Metea Valley high school when it first opened. The 204 school district was a great district to be in. We loved our time living there, the memories and lifelong friends we made over the years will always be precious to us and our now grown children. The entire area was great, kid friendly, clean, well kept and safe then and it still seems to be that way whenever we return for a visit. We are now retired living in Arizona but we get back there from time to time to visit friends that are still living there and it is still just as nice and safe as we remember it, now with even more restaurants and places on Route 59 and in the area. If you get the opportunity to live and raise your family there you won’t regret it. We still really miss it."

    "It was mostly quiet but I honestly did not spend too much time outside my own neighborhood growing up. The area by Washington middle school and San sucy was very nice and the people were nice. Nice nature trail near by and lots of activities for families. I do not currently live in the area any longer and have not for years but as I remembered it, it was lovely and you never had to worry about your kids playing outside since everyone was so friendly and knew each other. Overall the people in the San sucy area were what the neighborhood great. Looked out for each other and always looked out for each other’s pets when they ran from the house."
