Penitas Reviews
Rating 3.32 out of 5 19 reviews
Its a good place to live and settle down. While it can be pretty quiet, mostly everyone keeps to themselves. Also everyone knows each other because of how small the area is...
It's a small town but starting to grow. There are many business opportunities just around the corner with the addition of a major highway being built through the center of town. You have some big stores such as Walmart and you have your family owned businesses as well. It's a little bit of everything.
Many of the people of this town have all the patience to take care of someone or help translate. It is almost a family community, of course; it comes with it's bumps here and there. Small town with loving characters and strong willed kids. Determined to leave and grow beyond the borders of the town that stops them.
