Welcome to the community of morally bankrupt elite and their cruel, sheltered offspring where people of diverse ethnicity come to clean toilets and pick up trash. About the only positive I've found living here is there's not been many murders in the area. petty theft, car and house break ins are still abundant. In spite of the hype of the school system, schools are mediocre, teachers are inexperienced some straight out of college, some aloof and out of touch. The scores are high because most children are awarded every academic opportunity out side of the school, between extra math classes to expensive private tutors. The facilities are down right awful in certain schools, rumors of heavy metals in drinking water, too many kids packed in too small a space, bullying is rampant with school broadly sweeping it under the rug. I've known children in Elementary school who have been beaten. People are cold and generally divided by racial lines mostly Indian and Asian decent. Don't move here.
Beautiful trees, lakes, wild berries, and friendly forest animals abound. Wish was also the case with respect to good restraunts, and entertainment options!
The area is just breathtaking. Everywhere I look there is beautiful landscaping, hills, lakes, mountains, trees, lots of bikers and pedestrians. I love how active the community is. Creates a sense of community as a whole. I also have been welcomed several times by locals as I just moved here. That means so much to me!
