Known for its tree-lined streets, neighborhood traditions, and incredible access to outdoor trails and parks, Park Santiago has a welcoming atmosphere with community events and activities throughout the year. The home sits on a beautifully landscaped lot with a private, expansive backyard designed for relaxing and entertaining.
