Centered around the water and close to U.S. Route 20, the neighborhood offers scenic views surrounded by open fields and quiet country roads. It gives residents a relaxed, rural atmosphere while keeping daily commutes to work, shopping, and dining quick and easy.
Students in the area attend Freeport School District 145, with campuses located a short drive south in town.
