Resident Testimonials

"This neighborhood is in one of the most beautiful sections of Mill Creek Park. There are many roads and trails, and I enjoy walking my dog in the park. I am originally from the Pacific Northwest, and the park is so quiet and peaceful I feel like I’m in a huge forest. I feel fortunate to live in this beautiful natural setting right in the middle of the city."
-Donna Mower, Idora (Moved from Washington State)

"The neighborhood we live in has children. I enjoy the atmosphere full of friendly people and full of life. I have found it to be a place where people are willing to come together to make a change."
-Sounja Dawson, Idora

"We like it here. We have nice neighbors and attend a beautiful church. We have an almost private entrance to Mill Creek Park, the most beautiful municipal park on earth."
-Jim Young, Idora (Moved from California)
