My family has lived in DC Ranch for over two decade and really have enjoyed watching it grow. The people are quite friendly (a couple snobs here and there) but for the most part approachable and polite.
The community itself is very well kept and maintained by the property management. They decorate beaaaautifully for the holiday season with tons and tons of lights in the shopping area as well as neighborhoods in addition to life size deer sculptures and wreaths on the gates.
The restaurants in the Marketplace are varied. Fleming's is probably the only one that has been around the entire time we have. Other have come and gone, we strongly speculate rent prices are extremely high. The wine bar/lounge at the three way stop is always popping but has changed management. Safeway is the anchor keeping this complex alive
