A Note as You Go…

Hope this helps in exploring!

My plan is to meet you all along the way, explain and highlight some of the things you’ll see along your route. In addition to the driving tour I created (which should be plenty) in case you all were really gravitating toward a particular place, there are additional tours created for each pocket. There are also links to nearby highlights, example homes and more.

We’ll plan on checking in throughout the day as you go so we can discuss what you’ve seen, what you like and how we can advise!

Just in case you don’t find anything you absolutely love and can’t convince you to come to our fine town, at the very least we wanted you to enjoy your day so i included a few places to grab lunch/dinner.

Also, a copy of our guide is below as you hop around town!
