Nice groups of home schooled kids and decent public schools too. You won’t find a lot to do if you like nightlife or city life. Lots of fishing, hiking and rich retired people mixed with locals.

Unless you have family nearby and or lots of cash to blow on real estate, find a better place to live. Read Less
