I've never lived anywhere with friendlier neighbors than Ten Hills. It is the most neighborly, community-oriented, diverse place you can imagine. Everyone looks for each other and there are community events and gatherings throughout the year. Each house is architecturally distinct; the lawns and gardens are beautiful; and the winding, quiet streets are lined with mature trees.
