    "Mostly Middle class people who work for the city lives here. Lots of greenery and wildlife. There are good and not so good areas. Shopping is nearby. It’s like a little city of its own because there aren’t many houses or other buildings nearby. It also has its own police force who does a decent job. There are schools nearby for people with children. I think that everything you may need is here. There are also pt door attendants. "

    "It has a suburban feel and I love that it has a mall and other stores that are walking distance. The only thing I had to get used to living here was the fact that the stores closed early and there was only one 24 hour in all of co op, but it's a bit understandable."
