I think this area is a good place to raise a family. There are many schools close by and the area is very safe; you don't have to worry about crime in this area. There are lots of things to do; it is very centrally located towards everything else.

I feel safe in my area of town, but on other sides, there have been recent shootings and burglaries that have taken place. On the news, I notice one major crime about once a week. I see a police officer everyday at school for a resource and safety, but outside of school, I see at least one other officer while I am out driving.

There is a fire station that is about 10 miles from another, reaction time is quick. Local laws are most of the time enforced.
