extensive parks and rec. areas and a senior center
We have walkways or sidewalks on most every road and if there is not one, one is being built, we have may apartment/condos and transportation for people getting up there in years. People are living longer so we have take care of our aging families.
I may not have lived in this particular area for long, but I sure can tell you the area is settled and kind folks say hi and go along their day. Theres also a dairy farm thats not out of the way. There, you and the family can enjoy delicious treats and say hello to the girls(cows) and the little calves. Its a neighborhood that give small town feeling with country on the other side. So you can say theres a little of everything for anyone.
