Garden City is a beautiful, quiet area. Not much in the way of diversity, or nightlife. There are beautiful houses. It is an expensive area. It is peaceful.

It is a very nice place to grow up. The recreational facilities are very clean and well organized. Their is many places to go, from 7th street to the pool when its hot. The town is a very safe. The school system is very good academically and athletically speaking.
