It's an old neighborhood that has been running for a long time there has been a games but many more to have tomorrow the schools are old and sort of sweet

We like spending time with our family.there is not anything special about were I live and the grocery store is walking distance

We are located 5 minutes from the main freeway and several restaurants. Great schools, quiet neighborhood. Not much traffic.
