The road curves just enough to slow you down, and the lots open up—three-quarter acres, sometimes more, with room to breathe between houses. Ranch homes sit back from the pavement, many with finished basements and breezeways that do the work of mudrooms or quiet offices, and garages built to hold three cars without apology. It's the kind of place where a back deck overlooking your own yard doesn't feel like a luxury.
