      A retirement community with beautiful houses and landscape. One of my favorite parts of living here has always been waking up early on sunny mornings, looking out our living room window, and seeing the sparkling lake underneath the horizon. Lack of people my age has been an on-off problem, but the recent influx of tourists has been remedying that. Watching this city grow and thrive has been an exciting experience!

      Retired here in 2017 from Hawaii and couldn't be happier. Quiet, safe, beautiful, friendly people and great outdoor recreation opportunities. Can't beat the cost of living, especially housing.
      Nice place to vacation. A little hard to live here with kids. There are few options for sitters, but also no nightlife to speak of so who needs a sitter, really? Ha! Limited grocery options, not great dining... but it's beautiful and peaceful. Always a lovely view!
