Not enough variety of restaurants for families. Fast food chains are way to abundant.

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.
