    "Public transit is very limited. My commute to work is approximately 15 minutes but traffic is tough on Mahan Drive at Capital Circle NE. It is often very backed up during morning and afternoon rush hours. "

    "Commute is never an issue in Tallahassee, especially if you are a student because the public transportation is free and you get discounted cab rides. You can get from one end of Tallahassee to another in 30-40 minutes with little to no traffic most days."

    "I've lived in the Countryside neighborhood for 16 years, and we really love it. We have frequent neighborhood get-togethers and everyone is very friendly. Love that you can walk to both Buck Lake Elementary and Swift Creek Middle School. Not too mention amazing hiking trails within walking/biking distance, too. Not too many neighborhoods can claim such nice, walkable areas like Countryside does."

    "I have lived here for a long time. Many neighbors have moved in and moved out. I've seen the children grow up and the parents sell their houses to young families, who then grow up....."
