My experience in Acres Home has been the best experience I ever had in any city. When I graduate college I plan to get 3 Houses built in Acres Home.

I'd like to see a sense of community amongst everyone. There are a lot of things to do around acres home and people come together, yet people are not together.

They have great parks that are family friendly. Planting trees making a local drive less nervous. Gives a nice view driving home. Clean corners, no panhandlers.
