Some comments from Patch readers:

I have been a home owner close to the park for 13yrs. and considered moving many times but the YMCA and the renovating the village inspires my wife and daughter to stay,we do love the area.

I think this is fantastic news for our community. This will be great for the values of our homes as well as the business community. It is about time that our leadership see the value that this communitys has to offer. There are other associations/businesses that want to come into our community because they see the value. It is nice that we are starting to see it also. Thank you Dekalb County and Parks and Recreation. Job well done.
