A City Filled With Excitement 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I absolutely loved living here with my Grandparents. It's a warm suburban area that I will always remember as my home. I enjoyed the nightlife, the excellent destinations and the diverse assortment of friends and neighbors. The city also offers continuing education for the best c ...Read More olleges and universities. The cost of living is reasonable for the quality homes offered in the area.

There's an array of theme parks, one in particular I use to bring my pet dog is the" Place for Paws Dog Park" within driving distance. Another great park is the "City Centre Park". You may also enjoy the many other amenities and attractions this city has to offer such as, museums, shopping centers, health fitness centers, movie cinemas, beaches and lakes.

The climate is very suitable in the winter it gets cold, but not too cold. The most snow we got when I lived there was about 14 inches. The summers temperatures are always pleasant and comfortable. Perfect for barbecues and picnics. Read Less
