Its slogan is "The West's Most Western Town."

Very expensive
My neighborhood is very age friendly because it contains many retirees and families who have open backyards to tend to as well as open streets and parks to exercise within. My neighborhood is also close to different grocery stores, restaurants and medical centers that are easily accessible to individuals of all ages. Lastly, my family and my neighbors own many farm animals for aged individuals to interact with.
Oak Grove is filled with families and retirees. The homes are all one level with not too much traffic. Neighbors seem to watch out for each other. Restaurants, churches, higher education, and even a Senior Center is nearby.
Everything is easily accessible with or without personal transportation. Banks, Groceries and Health Care.
