It is a small town that is about an hour from the downtown area. I have loved growing up in this area, where I am comfortable in those around me. Due to a low population, familiar faces are on every block.

Very nice place with access to most main roads, which can cause large amounts of traffic at times. There arent many places to go to but there is a very nice park at lake george that is popular during the summer and fall.
It is a nice area in general but some improvements could be made in regard to the local school district. There seems to be an older population in the area that is growing. The positives of the area included the seclusion and larger amount of acres per property.
