The area is so nice, quiet, and has lots of walking trails to explore, but you’re still close to many shops. There’s this one trail behind the tennis courts that I love walking and watching the sunset, it’s truly beautiful to see! My neighbors have been nothing short of amazing, I made friends with all the dog moms in my building and I love getting to talk to them.”
