It's very quiet calm & peaceful in my community. Very elderly friendly, they also built a brand new 10 million dollar park that surrounds the neighborhood. It has a soccer field waterpark walkway throughout the park which includes excersising materials.
Nice community, easy access to shopping, highways,schools, transportation, good working community
The community has a lot of great resources and friendly people that live here. Plus a lot of small businesses that have great food and atmosphere
There are alot of resources for the elderly as in housing, food banks, meal deliveries and others.
