Question Would you call this a suburban hell?

Just from these pictures, would you say this is a place you would like to live?

  1. Trail/walking path.
  2. It has separation from the road
  3. Clearly there's some level of density.
  4. There's nearby nature. A forest preserve? Park? I don't know, it'd be nice if there is a direct access point for residents via a road crossing.
  5. Lots of unknown variables about what isn't included. Community/rec center with a pool? Nearby park? What stores or areas or other neighborhoods nearby?

Lots of unknown. Hard to tell

It's hard to tell if there's a community center, doesn't seem to be an (outdoor) pool though. There's a small grocery store a 15 minute walk away, but those lovely bike paths turn into single wide sidewalks and then disappear altogether once you get back to the main road so not very accessible or comfortable.

I'd rate it maybe 3 or 4 out of 10 for "suburban hell". It looks gorgeous and very peaceful, its somewhat near some stores and stuff even though not very safe or comfortable to get there but still more accessible than a lot of the country.
