Bethany is one big community. Everyone is friendly and neighborly. We have path ways for running, walking, biking etc. Grocery store, restaurants, library and cute boutique. Bethany public house is the hang out. Never felt more safe. If there's any suspicious activity in the area (very rare) everyone is alerted immediately. We have each other's back to keep everyone's family safe. Bethany is the place to be if you and your family are planning on moving.
