It is an excellent location to be growing up in throughout your entire life. I fortunately grew up around the area during my high school years. There is not much that I would like to see change around here.

In this community there isn't much of any crime going on. There are many families who live here who are always watching out for their neighbors and people around them to keep them as safe as possible. There are police present during the day and night but not as much as there would be in a high crime community.
