"There are several wonderful walking trails up the mountain and around the top of the mountain. There is a nature trail through and around the park with restrooms available. There is also availability to walk to a dog bark as well. Several dog stations to clean up after your dog as well. "

"Sidewalks are not in all neighborhoods, so children should not play in the front yard. Riding bikes can also be dangerous due to traffic."

"I love living in Rib Mountain. The location can’t be beat with the area’s best shopping and restaurants here. Yet, it has beautiful, welcoming residential neighborhoods all around. Rib Mountain feels close to everything because of the immediate interstate and highway access, as well. We wouldn’t live anywhere else. "

"I haven’t lived here long, so I don’t know much about specific community events. Most homes in this neighborhood do seem to participate in holidays like Halloween trick or treating, and decorating for Christmas. The elementary school has several evening family activities planned this year. I am looking forward to learning more about other community events."

"Steps away from the state park. Close enough to neighbors to feel connected to a community but far enough away where you don’t love on top of one another. Very dog friendly almost everyone walks dogs in the neighborhood. "

"This house is only 2 blocks from Bluegill Bay park, with hiking trails, fishing, and a boat landing. Is only 2 blocks from shopping as well, with an acre yard with a treehouse! Perfect for a small family or new home-owners! Everything has been updated!"

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageRib Mountain Elementary has a high level of academic excellence. The teachers and staff have created a safe, caring environment for students to learn. There is a high level of engagement of teachers, staff, parents. They teach academic content well and have methods to cater to higher and lower levels of achievement within the same class so all are challenged and learning. They create a nurturing positive environment. They have well established motivation systems to emphasize proper behaviors ("mustang money" for toys at the "mustang market"), to encourage outside reading at home (reading club with prizes), etc. Great families. We have been impressed!Other Review10y ago1 Reviews
