    "I've lived in Andover for 19 years. The community is welcoming, friendly, and safe. My kids have had a wonderful childhood and have gone through K-12 in the Andover schools and we have been more than happy with the community, township services, and local businesses. Yes, you need a car to get around, but you can expect that if you want the privacy, acreage, and country living along side a private lake community! As for mean people well that's everywhere in this WORLD.... We choose to stay away from mean people and associate ourselves with caring considerate people.."
