“We moved here for a better sense of community, schools and a healthier lifestyle for our kids,” says Jenni Rahn, a resident of Rough Hollow’s Woodlands community. “The neighborhood exceeds my expectations.”

“We have so many options here in Rough Hollow,” says Rahn. “From boating, water skiing, long boarding and fishing to yoga classes or learning to dance or cook at the Pavilion — there’s something for everyone.” The former owner of an EMT training company, Jenni and her husband Beau came to Rough Hollow from northern California and couldn’t be happier. “From the moment we moved in, we’ve Ioved it.”
