We asked our most recent resident of Park Place, Shawna, what has surprised you the most about being a homeowner?
I think what has been most surprising has been the sense of pride I feel, knowing that my hands have been a part of creating this. It has changed our lives immensely due to the proximity of the home to work and school. I have been able to join a local gym to work on my mental and physical health and I am also on my 5th week at Sierra College already! A few years there and I will get my AA and hopefully transfer to a University. Finances are something that I certainly still have to be careful with, but the savings in fuel alone are helpful! I am really looking forward to working on getting the yard nice!
