The following are just a few examples of how our residents are involved in the neighborhood and with each other in order to build a stronger community. The following are some of the amenities offered to our residents in order to provide a chance to exercise and socialize with one another:. One of the most effective ways our residents get to know one another is by engaging in various sports. We have a full basketball court, tennis court and volleyball court that are regularly used by both kids and adults throughout the neighborhood.
Residents are able to bike or jog regularly and often make friendly connections with like-minded neighbors using our biking and jogging trails. Additionally, this is a great way for parents to meet one another and connect as well. Everybody loves going swimming in the summer, and our residents can do this without ever leaving the neighborhood. Our residents love the competition-sized swimming pool and diving well, as well as the nearby kiddie pool. Many of our residents meet here regularly to socialize.
