One of the greatest perks to living here at Ingleside has been the ability to walk everywhere! It may have been just the tick on the amenities list that actually tipped the scales in her favor while contemplating the purchase... We found ourselves asking: "How in the world can we NOT live in such a convenient location?"
We love walking to the grocer, to the coffee shop, to the movies (well, ok, we haven't actually taken advantage of the theatre yet), to the bakery, to the restaurant, to the massage therapist, to the ice cream parlor, to the farmer's market on Saturday mornings...
It's just the best.
And having lived in the country for most of my life, it is the height of luxury to my community-loving soul.
We so enjoy running into friends, making new ones, beginning to establish ourselves as "regulars" at all the local businesses... it's just such an outward way to live, and it's what we'd been hoping to find.
Nice when things don't disappoint, huh?
There's just something about the unhurried act of choosing to walk, and shop, and hang out in your hamlet that says, "I'm open to the possibility of community, to the intersection of lives, to connection." So different from the American par.
It's refreshing.
And we're grateful for the opportunity to experience it.
