I've been an owner most of my long life but some of my best friends......
The above posts precipitate the following question. Do I dare ask if there are neighborhoods one should GENERALLY avoid? I know, opinions vary but I've been on the planet long nuff to know that every dozen roses has a stem or two with a petal or two that is slightly wilted. This is my whole point of renting. I would rather rent for a year or so in a great neighborhood than own in a bad one. And what makes you all move from a neighborhood? Perhaps this is a less obstreperous way of asking what is good and what is bad neighborhood wise.
I spent last week in TV and generally liked the north 1/2. More crowded but more compelling because of goods and services and it has not been denuded of trees. Looking forward to some constructive comments. Thank you in advance.


More crowded? How did you come to that conclusion? Most lots run from a little larger to quite a bit larger north of 466.


I can't think of any place here that could be described as undesirable by most peoples very high standards. It is pretty amazing, all of it. And people are very proud of their properties and take good care of them.
