Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.

I've been here 8 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is community vibe. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the pet-friendliness is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is excellent.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
