Close to A rated schools Cornelius Elementary, Bailey Middle School and Hough High School. Several bus stops very close and convenient for kids. Many neighbors involved through Next Door app so news gets through quickly. High level of police involvement on holidays like Halloween. Great fire rescue also heavily involved in the town. "
