Angela, Manuel, and their children have been residents of the Lake Sunset neighborhood for almost a year now. Angela loves this community. She loves that she knows so many of her neighbors and that her children can play with the other children in the community. She says that she has been surprised that the neighborhood is so quiet. At the beginning of their home search, they were not looking at West Lakes as a potential place to call home. They always felt like the community was overlooked. In the end, Angela felt like that was the very reason why they needed to purchase their home in West Lakes. The moment she stepped foot into their new home, she knew the home was hers and that she needed to be a part of their new community. There was a lot of change happening in the area and she knew that she wanted to be a part of those changes in any way she could! In the short year, her family has lived here, they have seen improvements by the construction of the Early Learning Center and Boys & Girls Club. She is excited to see her family grow alongside the neighborhood. Angela and Manuel have two sons; one is a student at Orange Center Elementary school.
