      Beautiful area with friendly neighbors and close proximity to everything you would ever need. The public and private schools in the area are some of the best in the nation. You can live in a quiet neighborhood with a nice yard and drive 15 minutes to one of the biggest malls in the country.

      I have been living in Devon my whole life and don't want to leave! Very nice area with lots to do. Lots of opportunities for youth sports and other activities.
      I have lived here for 4+ years and it is a nice place to live. A great place to have your children grow up at.
