The Backyard!
The backyard is a very nice, large area. We have a mature tree that provides shade to most of the backyard. It also helps keep the house cooler in the summer! The backyard is a child's dream, but all of the toys can be taken down for those that want more open space. The back of the house has two sets of flood lights, vinyl siding (less upkeep than wood siding), new aluminum fascia and new rain gutters that follow the entire back of the house. There is wood fencing on both the south and north sides and a chainlink fence in the back. However, there is a heavy metal fence just on the other side of the property line, which provides complete privacy on all sides of the backyard. Perfect!

The
Neighborhood
Our home is located in Barton
Estates. There are no HOA fees, but we are lucky enough to have a
neighborhood association that has a committee and is able to help the home
owners stay true to the Irving codes and rules. The neighbors on both
sides of the home are nice, quiet and loving people. There is also access
to the elementary school grounds through a small alleyway that links to the
neighborhood.
