General comments | | | | | | |
I love visiting this town because of how peaceful and beautiful it is. There are many parks and shopping centers and most of the homes are far from the local shopping areas. This town has a very family oriented feel to it and for young adults this town may be a bit boring. This town is suburban and the environment reminds you of when you were growing up with kids on the streets riding their bikes and playing outdoors with each other. I enjoy how many nice parks this city has to offer for those who live here. Living in this city does require you to make long commutes though and for those who prefer shops being closer by you might feel annoyed because of how much driving is required to live here. | | | | | | |
