Very little crime occurs, and the neighborhood watch program catches the majority of criminals. All crimes which have occurred are nonviolent, and several police officers live here, and occasionally patrol.

Neighbors are friendly, and very local schools and employment generate a stable population. It sometimes gets very hot in summer and the schools are VERY close, so let in/let out hours can create traffic.
