The roads here roll gently through stands of mature trees, and what sticks with you first is the space—four acres per lot on average means houses sit back from the street, breathing room baked into the land itself. An unnamed park is a five-minute walk away, and there are two parks within a mile, enough green that you don't feel boxed in despite the acreage. A restaurant sits about seven minutes on foot, and the nearest grocery is a twelve-minute walk, so the essentials aren't distant; they're just not stacked on top of you either.
