I love this neighborhood there are a lot of various activites to do and lots of space. Neighbors are friends and the park is well taken care of. There are some areas with trash but it is often picked up.This neighborhood as spaces for both kids and adults and also offers a wide variety of parking. Kids have parks, and activtiy centers, there is also a hospital for children and the elderly.
