What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Guntersville

Quiet and there are wonderful views. Wildlife is present, We all know who the neighbors are/ We may not interact, ut thwy are alert to anyrhing untoward

There isn't much to do way out here our neighbors are few and far between and town is a good ways away

It's very quiet. People keep their homes very nice and their yards mowed . I really Love my neighborhood

I enjoy just sitting and hanging out talking having fun. Going out to the lake to walk around or just walking around outside.

My neighborhood is unique in that it has views of the local lake. This, is a income based apartment, which is what makes it so unique. It is 5 minutes from local shops with 3 grocery stores to choose from sa well as 2 branded pharmacies, and 3 Walmart's within 15 miles.
