Neighborhoods

Beautiful quaint, peaceful and very safe village, away from the city hustle and bustle, but not too far away from all amenities needed. Beautiful area for walking, parks, fields, countryside. Easy access with own vehicle to highways etc, public transport is difficult, but Eastwood Mearns Taxis and Uber solve those problems.
