Wow, thank you so much for the amazing review! I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear your family still loves the neighborhood and that your kids have so many friends right on the street. That’s exactly what finding the right home is all about. I’m really grateful I got to be part of that journey with you. I hope that you all had an awesome Halloween and make tons more great memories there! Gratefully, Chad
