The people who walk by with a smile always greet with a goodmorning or good afternoon! In stores you might bump into that neighbor you haven't seen in a while & have a good talk!
I would recommend this community because it always felt like home and that's where I grew up . It is safe and a good environment to live in . Public Transportation is reliable . Schools & groceries stores are always near by .
