There is a level of firsthand neighborhood knowledge here that only comes from truly living the lifestyle. Mornings often begin with neighborhood walks, afternoons may include a quick stop at Desert Ridge Marketplace, and evenings often end enjoying dinner nearby or gathering with friends while still being just minutes from home.
