It's safe and has great parks and playgrounds!
 

Garnerville

It has great outdoors activities all year round for families with kids!! You can go to wonderful parks to bike in the spring, do water sports in the summer, visit great hiking trails in the fall and skiing, tubing and ice skating in the winter in the near by ski resorts.
 

New City

I love being a parent in New City because we have incredible schools.

I grew up in my hometown and loved it and now it is so great raising my children in the same town and same elementary school that I went to. We have a very involved community which offers many great programs and activities for adults and children. I try my best to be a part of all that I can.

I love my hometown because there is so much right outside my door without being too crowded.  It's a great place to raise a family, the school district is great and the town programs are plentiful.  I love being able to raise my children i the same town where I grew up.
