There are copious amounts of greenery and wildlife in the area. Some of the roads go through a tunnel of trees, it's so beautiful. The neighbors are sweet and considerate of others. They are not noisy. This is a good place for gardening, we get a lot of sun and rain. There are also plenty of shady spots for other plants. The creeks are great for fishing.
