Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros
- Significantly lower property and violent crime rates than regional and national benchmarks
- High median household incomes, low poverty rates, and overwhelming homeownership stability
- Peaceful, well-maintained residential environment with minimal pass-through vehicular traffic
Cons
- Completely car-dependent with no walkable commercial amenities or grocery stores
- Limited street lighting and lack of continuous sidewalks on some interior roads
- Key neighborhood amenities (golf course, tennis, clubhouse) are private and require club membership or guest access
