I live in a really good area. The area is quiet there are no loud parties and the neighbors are respectful. I've been living here for a long time and have no complaints. It's pretty cool that I have the super market nearby for my shopping needs. Especially it's not far away which is a huge benefit.

Love the neighborhoods and families. Have met great friends at school. Need to get more money available to fix roads, etc.
