I love living in the Geist community. The area is really on the come up and there are so many family friendly activities to enjoy. Going boating with my family on the Geist reservoir is one of my favorite activities. There also are a lot of new food/ice cream places opening up that are so delicious. The public and private schools around this area are very nice as well.
