I have lived there for almost 10 years. CRE is a small town and like any other small town it has good areas and some bad areas and they change from year to year.
A lot of people ##### about the roads, but the main roads are in good shape and when it does snow they are cleared right away. Most of the people who complain live way back on the secondary roads and they expect their roads to be cleared beore anyone else. As for the homeowners fees they are some of the lowest in the area.
The lake is in good shape, but like any other lake it needs maintenance. The beaches are keep clean and all have life quards during the season.
I would recommend CRE as a place to live. A commuinity is only as good as the people who live there.
Well spoken Dan...
CRE is a great place to live...I've been here for 10 years and I love it more now than I did 10 years ago...
Someone caught a 7 1/ pound Bass out of the lake a few weeks ago... and put it back so we can catch it again...
The Bay boat launch is scheduled for replacement... The campgrounds is a great place to ride bikes or take a nature walk...
I always hear this chatter about the crime in there... but you rarely see CRE in the crime reports in the newspapers.... I haven't been bothered with any crime in the 10 years I've lived there...
Maybe it's realtors trying to steer people to more expensive neighborhoods, you never know....
Sure there are some roads in CRE that will never be paved... but you're right... in the winter... our main roads are passable.... when the county roads aren't.
I love living in CRE and I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants to live near the Bay and raise a family..... We are lucky to have some of the best schools in the State... we have wonderful teachers who live right in CRE.... we have all kinds of churches and there is plenty for the youth to do... I simply love it here...
