I have found everyone here to be so extremely kind and welcoming. We have many friends who live in some pretty amazing and expensive homes (though most are in more modest homes like us) and they are still friendly and down to earth people. I've really been so pleasantly surprised. I think people come here to raise their children close to the beaches and the forests and to take advantage of the amazing schools and they just don't seem like the type to be aloof. It's such a wonderful place.
Hi Onward - thanks for the detailed response. Super helpful!!!

It's interesting and yet somehow not surprising based on all the other feedback I've read about the Cape.

Thanks WhoFan. We'll keep a lookout for little kids gear. We'll be buzzing through the area in early August. I expect we'll see more play gear strewn about front yards and driveways then.
