What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Hartselle

Affordable living. It's pretty quiet. Neighbors are nice. It's far enough away from downtown not to hear a bunch of traffic but still close enough that you don't feel like you live in the middle of nowhere

It is a Family friendly community. A Quite neighborhood where neighbors look out for each other. It is close to everything.

I love that it's secluded and has a playground for my kid. He has a couple friends and I feel safe leaving him here while I work

All my neighbors are friendly and for the most part trustworthy. We all look out for each other on my block
