      The are is very safe and has a variety of amenities that are provided to its residents. There is a indoor pool facility as well as an outdoor pool are along with tennis courts. Many of the residents spend their time enjoying these facilities and are very friendly.
      I like my house, it's pretty, but I have no strong feelings about the neighborhood. It's fine I guess, but I don't really care one way or another about it.
