    "My neighborhood is very safe for children, my neighbors have owned their home for years and everyone has 1/2 acre or more. Everyone knows everyone, there’s not a lot of houses for sale & not a lot of new people moving in. My kids can walk down the street and there’s not a lot of traffic. I love it because it’s so beautiful, there’s a lot of trees, and open land, horses, and wild rabbits! "

    "I have lived in this neighborhood for the past 5 years and had the chance to see this area of the city grow while still being quite and rustic. its unique in that it is a farming community with some amazing neighbors that is still part of the city. it has old and new combined. most of my neighbors built their house in the 50's-70's and the original owners. there are tons of fields and pastures throughout this neighborhood. most people own various farm animals (cows, chickens, horses, sheep and goats) and are able to have a rustic lifestyle minutes from a metropolis.
