    Very much enjoying the new place in a nice quite area

    4.5/5 Anonymous on Aug 29, 2023

    We love this place, except for the many spiders that find their way inside and offleashed dogs that have charged at us twice now. Location is great, on the outskirts of a busy city, but close enough with a short commute anywhere in town. Rent isn't bad for a 3BR house, however I expect prices to go up once tesla finishes building close by.
