Only 20 minutes from downtown, feels like living in smaller town, but, still easy to get to major events in city.

Where I live is in my opinion one of the best places for any child to grow up. Not only do I live in an area with fantastic, nationally ranked public school districts, but in addition everyone here is extremely friendly, there are a lot of small businesses and places to hang out, and there is virtually no crime at all.
