What Renters Like and Dislike About Lamar

I love that we have busses street car groceries store and plenty of fast food and churches and restaurants

It's close to food places so I could walk if I wanted to but I don't because of all the people outside

The mall la playa the movies the park restaurants arcades shopping senders fast food places andnsnsnbrnd

I like going to the beach with my family and friends because we can swim and we can enjoy the nice view and the nice Fresh salt water air .

There are quite a few restaurants and bars near me. I've only been in this house since January but I've tried most of the local spots and they are all good.
