Another unique neighborhood is Middleton Hills. It is a neighborhood that has been built with community in mind. The homes have front porches and garages in the rear of an alley. Many of the houses are Frank Lloyd Wright inspired Prairie style homes. It has been designed so people can walk to the park, the grocery store, coffee shop and their office.
