Nasty owners who will call you profanities when you try to have a civil conversation about holding them accountable for failing to maintain their trees. The very definition of "slum lords".

Safe quiet neighborhood and the trailers are pretty much guaranteed to sell when you need to move out.

We loved living here when we first got married. Nice little community. Mostly students. Shared lawnmowers, community center, and pool.
