My neighborhood is heavily wooded with tulip poplar trees. A road winds through it, and about 40 families live here. Idyllic, especially in the heat of the summer! We've literally got it made in the shade!!

I like privacy, but able to say 'hello' when I walk down the street!
I live in an English village. We are close to the sea and have the South Downs behind us in the distance!
The local shops and people exude a community feel, and still a little old fashion, which is great!

Sure!
Here's the promotional video for my neighborhood:

I walk the dog past almost everything in it!

sorry - you need several minutes to watch it, if you have the time
They make it look pretty good. Must have cleaned up the abandoned shopping carts

For the most part, I love my neighborhood and most of my neighbors - we are close and adore our chatty mailman. We watch out for each other - celebrate holidays and milestones together - and support one another in times of sadness and need.
We are blessed to live in a lush heavily wooded area near Forest Park in Portland Oregon - simply gorgeous! I left most of my blood relatives when I moved here from Colorado - but now I have my Oregon family, I love it. No neighborhood is perfect, but a lot depends on what you make of it:)

Nothing interesting, but here's some info.
I suppose the only good thing are all the lakes around.
