"The first thing I notice is how welcoming the people are," says Mark Rodi, a broker with Re/Max Affiliates and a 47-year real estate veteran. "There's close proximity to good schools both public and private, and most of them are within walking distance. So is shopping, if you'd like to stroll to Lakeside Shopping Center."
