Out here the lots run big—averaging over twelve acres each across seventeen thousand acres—so your nearest neighbor isn't exactly close enough to borrow sugar from. Spring Lake sits right at the edge, and Campbell Township Park is adjacent, which means if you want to actually get outside without driving, the water and trails are there. Everything else—groceries, restaurants, coffee—clusters about three miles away, which is close enough that you're not pioneering but far enough that you won't stumble into town by accident. It's the kind of stretch where land breathes, and you get the sense that quiet isn't enforced; it's just what happens when people are spaced far enough apart that they stop running into each other.
