"Forested older neighborhood"

Nice and friendly neighborhood, it seems most of the neighborhoods in this community are great for families. Very diverse because there are single family homes immersed in a LOT of smaller town homes. Our specific cul de sac is mediocre because we are the only house with kids who like to play outside and the rest of the other homes have no children. Community pool is small and nice and vindictive to the size of the neighborhood. The elementary school seems more than adequate.

Pros Cons
  1. Wooded
  2. Friendly
  3. Close to interstate and commuter lot
  4. Quiet
  1. Older homes (1970's)
  2. Too quiet cul de sac
  3. Few children on our road
  4. Lots of cars on street

Price: $250-$400k

  • Pet Friendly: Yes
  • Recommended: Yes

  • Appearance: neighborhood pool,curbs,common areas maintained,suburban,parking issues

Additional Information
