Has lived here for 15 years. Friendly community, crime free. Excellent grammar school, must be able to afford private school after grade school. Car is necessary no public transportation. High property taxes , highly educated residents.
It is a relatively small town. There is a hospital in town as well as a slew of doctor's offices. There is a golf course here that President Barack Obama visits and it also hosts a PGA tour. There is a community center that provides a variety of activities on a daily basis.
