Walkability 4.0/10·Schools 6.4/10
Heading out to this area means you're trading sidewalks for space—the kind of place where your lot actually means something. It's a platted subdivision positioned along the water access side of things, with the Airport Road Boating Access Site right there and Twin Lakes about a mile away if you want to think about what weekends could look like. Grocery, restaurants, and coffee are all a short drive off, so you're not completely removed from errands, but you're also not living on top of them either.
