...so yeah, that's why we ended up out here. You've got roughly twenty-three thousand acres of genuine open space—the kind of place where you can actually breathe and not feel like you're stacked on top of anyone else. It's rural in the truest sense, but you're not completely cut off; there's a grocery store about a mile away, and if you want to grab food, a restaurant is basically a four-minute walk. New Richmond Bridge Park sits a couple miles out if you want to get outside without leaving your own backyard behind.
