      "Close to highway, I’d say it’s about a mile from a bus stop. Close to stores and Brookshire Park and BooneShine Brewery. One con is there is only one switchback road into and out of neighborhood."

      "I am a biz owner here & have seen things change dramatically in past 12 years. No long-term rental housing unless you are a student or uber-wealthy, and you don't own a pet. Completely over-saturated with corporate-owned, short-term Air BnB's & VRBO's. Summer traffic is unreal along with roadwork. Tourists can be incredibly rude & the Mack trucks, semis & loggers on the 2-lane highways are dangerous. Need to own a helicopter or be one of the uber-wealthy who has access to the golf club heli to & from the airport. "

      "I’m retired, no commute. However, the college provides a lot of traffic. This improves in the summer months, and the time between thanksgiving and the new year. It’s a small price to pay to live in this area."

      "I live in college housing in town, so it is very accessible via walking or bus. However, I have lived in neighborhoods further away from downtown. In those neighborhoods, it is much more necessary to have a car. But I’m all areas, everyone is cautious of walkers, and I always have felt safe walking my dog, both at night and during the day (even as a female). "
