Gogo's take on The Seasons at Elwood
“Go. The Seasons at Elwood is an exceptionally safe, well-maintained 55+ active adult gated community in the suburban enclave of Elwood in Huntington. Violent crime is practically nonexistent, and property crime rates are well below state and national averages. Visitors will find a tranquil, private residential setting, though having a personal vehicle is essential to get around.”
