There are nature trails, woods, ponds, flowers and wildlife in abundance. Residents have come here from all over the United States. We come from different cultures but we have the same values. We are involved with the greater Indianapolis community as well as the Robin Run Community. There is twenty four hour security and an excellent trained staff to help take care of things. Although it is a fairly large community we are like a family that looks after one another the neighbors are

wonderful.
