"They have a sizable house with a backyard in a very family-oriented neighborhood. I remember wondering whether I would ever be able to afford a place to raise kids where they had so much room and were safe. The answer came last summer, when the Flanders were told about an unusual planned community just a few miles east of their Palms apartment."
"The Village Green sounded too good to be true--a 69-acre complex of 629 condos and bungalows set among vast expanses of lush green grass and beautiful tree-lined walking paths. Parking was confined to the perimeter, leaving the inside of the complex free of traffic and city noise. And yet, the Village Green was located in the heart of Los Angeles."
"The Village Green's convenience and serenity also came with a relatively modest price: The Flanders family found a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,580-square-foot townhouse for $171,000. Try to find that anywhere else. It took us about a minute after we saw this place to say, 'Yup.'"
