What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Wasilla

I don't like living here at all and want to get a place of my own. This question doesn't pertain to me in the least bit.

The ability to target shoot in your back yard. Beautiful scenery abounds in the area.Way too many characters required. 100 to 500 characters in two sentences. Talk about run on sentences.

There's not much unique about my neighborhood. It is quite and comfortable and most people go out in the neighborhood for walks and bike rides

We are approximately two miles from our small, rural, downtown, with stores and restaurants. It's a newer, and quiet neighborhood were we all communicate and watch out for each other.

I like going dirt biking with my friends. And working on the motorcycle. So fun. So bla he is Jen we are a good person we are so happy we can do this for you guys we can do this for a good one year and a good time with him I wanna was the day we were doing.
