The total is 33.5 miles, 27 miles in a straight line, and the free-flow time is about 45 minutes. ## A settled, older neighborhood There are 4,398 households. About 61 percent own their homes, and the median household income is about $98,000. About 29 percent have children under 18, and the median age is 33.7. About 19 percent moved in the last year, a higher turnover than most nearby places. Estimates put pet homes near 2,000 for dogs and 1,400 for cats. Housing is older (median build year 1975), and the median home value is about $459,200. ## A good fit for two dogs Two dogs from the same home can share one run, and the second is billed at the sharing rate: $50 instead of $59 in Business Class, or $61 instead of $72 in First Class on the 2026 rates. A pair of large dogs fits a Business Class run; a pair that does not like to share, or extra-large dogs, can take First Class. ## Cat households Cats board in four-level condos with their own litter box and blanket, and a cat tree and cat houses are nearby. The price is $35 a night, or $30 for a second cat in the same condo. ## Check-out and the clock Check-out is by 11:30 AM. If you cannot arrive before then, an afternoon pick-up between 2:00 and 5:00 PM costs half the nightly fee instead of a full extra night. From La Riviera the 45-minute drive makes the morning window a good choice for a Friday-to-Sunday trip, with pick-up in the afternoon on the return.
