"It’s diverse and without being pretentious. Everyone is friendly and down to earth. It is inexpensive despite being a college town ."

"I have lived in this community for more than two years and I do not know my neighbors and I do not know of any activities, each person lives inside their houses and no one cares to know you. This seems like a desert, as if only my house existed"

"It's a quiet community, but not really friendly, I only know two neighbors, the others have always ignored me. Everyone lives locked in their house."

"There aren’t really any community events in sixteen acres that I can think of. Besides having the polls at the library. Green leaf park would be the perfect place for a farmers market! "

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA few of the teachers were good and seemed to care about the kids but most seem short tempered and would rather not be there. The PTA was unorganized and were not willing to show any money handling proceedures. I helped out with quite a few school functiouns due to the lack of help elsewhere. glad we moved away.Parent Review12y ago9 Reviews - Mary M Lynch Elementary School
