I agree with most everything said, but to add a little note about the square and no parking on Sat. It was the 1st of the month and there were also approximately 2000 renters picking up their Id's on that date. Yes, it would have made a lot of sense not to book these things simultaneously...but when different entities book different events.
Anyway, I love it here. Even tho' I am close to colony..there are plenty of other stores besides that Publix. My neighbors and I dine out often...just don't go at 6 or 6:30 and expect to be seated. We do also go to a lot of the surrounding area restaurants. We also have a lot of dinners, cookouts, and parties in our neighborhood.
We golf, go to events and club meetings, and yes they are more crowded. It does get frustrating at times with all the traffic and bad drivers
but hey I was never promised the perfect life here. I enjoy and give thanks for what I've got....it definitely could be a lot worse.
