    "There aren’t very many neighborhood events but the golf course clubhouse has events every once in a while. The golf course is the main attraction in this neighborhood. There also is a high school cross country meet here twice a year."

    "I grew up here and 20 years later bought here. I love the area, even with the changes :) the area is close to everything. Interstate is less than 5 minutes away, downtown is maybe 15 minutes away and it’s easy to hop on the interstate to beaches, st pete, Orlando so on and so forth. Great area!"

    "The neighborhood surrounds a historic golf course. The perfect neighborhood for walking, and many folks do. We have bikers who run with their dogs, or let them run on the hold course at night after the golfers are gone. "

    "It’s a well established comfortable and mostly well maintained neighborhood. The golf course adds beautiful green space and is home for lots of birds and some wildlife. The neighbors are all friendly, a mix of elderly people who were here in the 1950s, and young working families. "
