There are several schools, parks, and community centers. There is a beautiful library, several restaurants and stores, yet it is a small enough area where neighbors still know each other, and there are folks of all ages living around each other making the town and neighborhood alike very comfortable.
Education
This area is a somewhat age friendly transportation is crazy there isn't usually buses and traffic is always busy.
Everyone is very helpful!
