My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

"My neighborhood is a close-knit, diverse community that cares about each other. There are tons of kids and progressive families. Everything we need is in walking distance; beautful green parks and playgrounds, museums, libraries, art classes, horseback riding trails, a zoo, pool, and planetarium. One of the reasons I chose this neighborhood was because of the bilingual school, which has an excellent reputation. Students are taught in English and Spanish and eventually become fluent." - Lauren
