    "Nosy neighbors trying to tell you what to or what not to do with your dog. Honestly I feel as if there are dog nappers everywhere. Be careful and safe. Also, some people just let their dog run out the house and go pee/poo without cleaning."

    "This is a quiet neighborhood, great location for school and recreational activities from fishing at our Springfield Park, to playing with a remote controlled toy boat. It’s safe, and the neighbors rarely speak, but if something were to ever happen, they’re always there for a helping hand when they can be."
