Large trees in the Koons' back yard provide ample shade for the impatiens they've planted to attract area wildlife. The Koons aren't the only ones in the neighborhood who've put a lot of effort into beautifying their home. Fellow residents, Tommie and Ray Cochran, have landscaped their yard and made several design changes to their home to better fit their lifestyle. Now that I work in town, it's so convenient to service the whole city from this neighborhood. Another reason Tommie and Ray, who works for the state, chose to live in Town and Country was the ambience and curbside appeal of their 1960s home.
Good neighbors mean a lot.
It's the friendly atmosphere that prompted relative newcomer Dale Adams to quickly get involved with the newly formed Town N' Country Neighborhood Association, and he currently serves as its vice president. Although Dale, who works for the state, has lived in the community for less than two years, his involvement with his neighbors has introduced him to many new friends. Although the friendships he's made will probably keep him in Town N' Country, it was his Spanish-style home that initially attracted him to the neighborhood. So when it went on the market, I decided to come by here and take a look. I ended up buying it because, with 1,600 square feet, there is more living space than at my former home, the yard is low maintenance and it takes me less than 10 minutes to get to work.
