Plainview is relatively a safe and diverse area. The school education is amazing here for all ages, and safety isn't a concern either. There are many complexes and places here so you can get what you need in a relatively short car ride if needed. In terms of cleanliness, there is minimal liter when you take a step outside. The houses are usually found to be very put together. Sound complaints seem to be at a minimum as well. Lastly, you can find many wildlife roaming around once the weather gets nice!

Plainview is where I have grown up my whole life, so it really means a lot to me. I remember joining Plainview sport clubs as a kid and being involved in the community as an adolescent. I graduated from POB JFK highschool, where there is a big emphasis on education in the school district, and its obvious that the parents in Plainview really care about what's going on in the schools.
