It is a safe area to live in.
It is a safe place to live with convenient shopping.
It's a lot of young families and not a lot of elderly in the community in this town. I am relocating to Summerville and am looking for a job working with the elderly as I volunteered in a nursing home in another town when I was young and I also took care of my elderly grandparents for years until they passed away.
it is an age friendly towm
