Colesville is a great location to live; it is generally safe, has a nice combination of nature activities with more city-like aspects such as restaurants and grocery stores, and decent public schools nearby. The only major downside is it is quite a commute to get to more major city areas so it can be a bit boring at times.

Lived in Colesville since I was born and seen it change a lot. Although I miss some of the old [laces because of the memories, I like that it is always updating and adding different places. I want to see more activity or leisure establishments, not just eateries, like pottery painting or consignment/antiques.

public transportation is great, you can get anywhere in and around my city/town it is starting to get very overpopulated in many areas and there is a lot of urbanization there is a lot of construction going on to address the increase in population
