It's a nice area, there are trails, ponds, and parks in my neighborhood. Beautiful scenery and a dog park, veterans memorial park.

My neighborhood is nearby restaurants like chipotle nearby Walmart we love our neighborhood because easy access on freeway

Super Close to shopping and dog parks and movie theaters and highways and restaurants and schools and parks.

most keep their homes neat and clean. Parks very close along with schools. also fast food close by.

I like that my neighbors all take pride in their property and in our neighborhood and are quick to take action if that is ever compromised.

My neighborhood is quiet for the most part with people keeping to themselves for the most part. People also maintain their property for the most part. I feel safe in my neighborhood.
