We have some local restarants that have been here for awhile and also a gardening shop, We also have a little breakfast place that all locals migrate to that has local owners. A little farther from our area we have a outdoor shop who sells fresh produce and homemade pies.

We have had some issues with car break ins and boat break ins. We do have security cameras and regular police patrols. We have also had strangers walk into open garages and steal things out of them. In general, we live in a very good neighborhood with little crime and a great place to raise children.
