I am often asked by first time buyers that they want a neighborhood that is safe for the children to play. Though I cannot steer anyone to any particular neighborhood or area; if they are considering the matthews area I recommend they look in Crestdale Crossing.
In addition to the affordable pricing that it offers, Crestdale crossing offers what I felt was a great value for my wife and four kids. A safe child friendly neighborhood. With only one road into the complex and every road ending in a dead end traffic is light. It is not used a cut through and people are very conscious of the children out playing.
I have no fear letting my kids ride their bikes on the cul d sacs or going to the playground and playing on the swings or slide. Or even letting them enjoy the vast open field that is there for their enjoyment. In fact, I encourage it.
The way they positioned the subdivision the playground and the field is in the middle of the complex. Surrounded by homes on all sides. If you did not know it was there you would never know or see any of the many kids playing nerf gun wars, football, baseball or a variety of other outdoor activities.
I recently was showing a home to someone in the neighborhood and they asked where the playground and field was. They had seen a picture of it but when they did a drive through they could not find it. I said that is the beauty of it. Basd on it's location in the middle it is centered to all the homes and yet tucked away so people cannot see it. Thus making it safe for the kids to play in.
A day does ntto go by now that spring is upon us that there are not at least 15 to 20 kids playing a variety of sports, games, or enjoying the playground out there.
With it's limited traffic in and out of the complex and the vast amount of young and teenage children it makes Crestdale crossing a very children friendly neighborhood.
We probably all remeber the days when we were growing up (dating myself here) when we would be outside playing kickball, baseball, swinging on the swings, bike riding or a variety of other things...and our parents would be sitting outside talking with other parents or telling us to be home before dark. This little 150+ community offers much of that same old fashioned traits that we grew up with.
So, if you are looking in Matthews for affordable housing and a neighborhood that offers some of the most children friendly ammenties around consider Crestdale Crossing in Matthews North Carolina.
