Glenrosa - pros? cons?

Post by ndmw »

Looking to relocate to Glenrose simply because the yards are huge and the area is a secluded but it is a bit far from everything - can you offer any advice? What are the big pros and are there any big cons? What are the schools like in the area?

Two things, they may be out-dated and addressed over the last few years but,

I grew up in Glenrosa and come back for three weeks every year.

Pros:
Elementary & Middle school in the area
Lots of families
friendly neighbors
Glen canyon park

Cons
High school is far away
speeders & dangerous drivers
crime
forest fire danger and only 2 ways to exit the area (and one is an old logging road in bad shape

I would stay off the main roads(webber, Mciver, glenrosa) and aim for side roads
