A Great Place to Visit, but don't move here! 1.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 02, 2019) I spent alot of time here before I moved and thought I knew it was nice. People seemed friendly and it is pretty. Then I made the mistake of moving in. High crime, high taxes, disgusting water, horrible public servants, too much traffic, and totally unfriendly to dogs. The guy at ...Read More the borough hall in charge of the building permits is a psycho, he was screaming at me about a wheelchair ramp we had to install. Literally screaming. They tell you something different every time you try to get your work done with the permit (your per-MIT as he calls it). The guy I bought my house from had three different attempts to get the smoke alarms set to satisfy their ever-changing demands, it was ridiculous, and they are very rude about it.

Then every other person on the block freaks out if your dog steps on the curb strip of grass (not the lawn, the curb strip). One guy was shrieking that he'd call the police if I walked my toy poodle on his property. I apologized but he followed me around the corner foaming at the mouth, I thought he was going to assault me and my elderly mom who uses a cane. She was shaking so bad she couldn't hold her cane and she almost fell. I think the guy would have kicked her, it was that bad. And this was a "nice" neighborhood.

It is a great town for a vacation if you like nature, the people are superficially friendly. But it sure as heck ain't Mayberry. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. Read Less
