We enjoyed the clubhouse amenities. The neighborhood was quiet with many helpful people. If you like walking there are many trails in the community. You will need a car to get you to a coffee shop, downtown, groceries, etc. The community center was about five minutes by car. My daughter and I thought we could walk to it, but a really nice home owner told us to take our car. Communication was great with the owner. Would love to stay there again. ##### Lucy O.
