      The community is extremely family friendly. There are many parks, and the local public and private schools are very strong. At no point during my time in the community have I felt serious concern for my safety.

      It's alright. There's diversity but you still kinda know who the faculty favor. There isn't really a lot to do either. It isn't great but it's nice I guess.
