Parker is a very safe community to live in. There has yet to be a time where I have felt in danger or uncomfortable in the neighborhoods I live in. We are also in close proximity to connecting highways and have a fair variety of restaurants; essentially, everything a teenager with their car needs! Sometimes it can feel quite small in Parker, maybe even a bit privileged, but watching it grow has been very rewarding as a native. I know Parker will only continue to get larger, and with that more complicated civic action and debate. Nevertheless, the soul of the suburb will always be where every neighbor is a friendly face you also see in your English class.
Parker is an amazing town that truly feels like home the second you step foot in it. The downtown is so quaint yet modern, and feels like a Hallmark movie no matter the time of year. There is so many options in Parker, and you will never find yourself missing something. Parker truly is a family town that is amazing!
I might be biased for living here my entire life, but it's actually one of the safest and most beautiful places to be. However, as someone who works at a restaurant, this is where a lot of the people who don't respect the waiters are, as half of the people who live here decide to retire to Parker. It also has the tendency to be so peaceful it's boring, sometimes, due to the lack of good events the town holds. I mean, there's Parker Days (the town fair), weekly farmer's markets, and some art walks, though it might just not be my cup of tea. It's exciting at first, but the more you go to these events, the blander it seems. Overall, it's a really nice place to live, but it isn't immune to its faults.
