Located on a superb lot: 1) nicely tucked near the rear of the community (less through traffic) and 2) situated on a highly-desirable tree-lined/sidewalk street community offering tons of open/common space to walk the fur-babies. 178 Longford is a WORRY-FREE purchase, as so many structural/mechanical components have been recently updated to include: NEWER!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
