    The area is very nice, it has a lot to offer however it has changed a lot in the past decade and that small town feel is no more. We are more of a city which is evident by the mass amount of cars and the new developments that are going up all the time. However, one thing that is not a good attribute of this area is everything is very expensive.

    Its a great town to live in very clean, has enough room for everyone, schools provide kids what they need.
    There are a lot of businesses to choose from. From franchise to mom and pop shops. They are all welcoming to customers, and have excellent customer service.
