Hobart Reviews

Family First Small Town 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) The thing about Hobart is that it the most family oriented place I have lived. Schools are great, the community is safe, and there are always events going on around town. With the old-time feel of downtown, a lot of the old buildings still stand.

There’s also Lake George, won ...Read More derful for outdoor activities with the family, like short drives, fishing or just enjoying the sight. Hobart has a number of stores and shops to visit, and the YMCA is always a great okays to bring the kinds. There are a few restaurants as well, one of my favorites is La Que, food is great and atmosphere is quaint like the town.

Hobart’s community is very close-knit. Being near one of the countries worst cities where crime is concerned, it’s a nice feeling to know everyone is on the same team. We present a united front to keep the crime out streets. That, and the added benefit of having a Police Academy in town. Read Less
