I lived here for awhile and I enjoyed the time! Close to the city and the country side.
A little expensive and there's not much to do but the city is well kept, clean, and the people are nice.
Review Lakeville
Lakeville has a small town community feeling! The schools have great teachers! They want to see your kids succeed. They go above and beyond to help them by using different techniques for the kids to learn with.. They didn't assume all kids learn the same. The neighbors are like family watching out for one another including all the kids in activities. This has truly been a great place and supportive place to have grown up.
I lived in Lakeville for about a year and I very much enjoyed my time there. However the long commute is a drag! The people are friendly and have beautiful parks all around! I would definitely live there again!
