It feels away from city. Great nearby local pizza. Close to a few parksandother open areas. Not far from supermarket or regular stores. Pharmacy nearby as well

Within 30 mins able to reach the airport, downtown, supermarkets, shopping malls and outlets. Easy access

Near by school and convenient store and bar plus a liquor store and two restaurants it's so lowkey. Transportation isn't so bad. It's all well water neighborhood.
