The area of cedar hills is a beautiful one. I enjoy the people and the communities all around. The schools especially Cedar Park, are one of the best middle schools in my opinion. The staff and teachers genuinely care for their students. One thing that I hope for is an improvement of our parks that are run by thprd. Whether it be making sure garbage is off the floors of the park, or that people aren't feeding the ducks and animals food they shouldn't be fed. Making sure our green areas are kept thriving is important to many especially since we live in such a beautiful state.
I like how clothing stores and grocery stores are there within reasonable distance because it makes traveling to each place more convenient. Regarding the safety of the area, it isn't bad either. What I would like to see is a change in diversity of the area because it's hard to spot any diversity in the area.
