    "Neighborhood is nice and quiet. The community stays clean and the HOA is very considerate. We love that it’s close to stores and freeways so it’s easy access. When in the community, makes you feel safe."

    "There is a lot of drug traffic and transients living out of their cars. It’s just unsafe. So I do not trust the tweakers walking up and down My Fence Line, EVERY SINGLE DAY, that they would try and steal my my dog or something on property. "
