Within a two mile radius you could get to the hospital, churches, bowling alleys, exercise center, and other shopping such as Target, Walgreen's, etc.

Getting around by golf cart is easy in this area as there are golf cart paths, and parking is no problem. Most carts come with a rain enclosure and lights for driving after dark.

Once you get the hang of driving a golf cart, you can even travel as far as Wal-Mart, Lowes, and Bell's on a cart.
Sounds good and thank you. Is it the same situation with the other town area (I think it is called Sumpters) or is the Spanish Springs area most condusive to walking?

Are there new builds in the SS area or mainly resales?

And finally what is actual driving a car like in TV? Is it slow thru neighborhoods? Or pretty busy streets. Was wondering what speed limit is for most streets.

Thank you so much!
