"It’s a very safe neighborhood and quiet. People are friendly and I love seeing everyone’s dogs. I highly recommend living here. "

"We have lived here for almost six years. It’s very quiet and peaceful, which is nice, but neighbors tend to keep to themselves. There are a few younger families that are outdoors often. Lots of cars park on the streets, but streets are well lit and drivers generally drive the speed limit. The park is great, lakes are a nice spot to relax or fish. Walking and biking trails stretch miles around the neighborhood."

"The majority of dog owners here pick up after their dogs but there are a few who don’t. So annoying and so inconsiderate. "

"I live in another HOA in The Islands, having previously lived in Elliot Shores. I found that Elliot Shores was well managed, with one of the best pool / spa facilities in The Islands, in a great neighborhood."

"We were visiting friends in the Islands, and now we are thinking about moving. It's very clean, and they have a private park down the road. There is a lot for our grandchildren to do when they visit, and it's a safe area. Also the HOA is strict so people keep their homes up. It's a bit expensive compared to other areas, but it's worth the extra money."

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended Island Elementary from Kindergarten to 6th grade. I have made so many fond memories with the wonderful teachers and funny students. There was so many fun activities to make it feel like home. I truly believe that going to this school has been a tremendous opportunity. I asked some of my old classmates who attended Islands Elementary and the consensus was that the play ground was an amazing addition to the school. In conclusion, if you are thinking of sending you kids to this school, take that next step and just do it. Make sure you give them money for the game truck (they will love it!)Other Review5mo ago - A Simple Path Montessori
