What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About West Memphis

I don't really think anything is unique but I live right near a shopping plaza with Burlington and dollar tree. My family loves to go there and get crafts to do together

That it is quiet with hardly any noise. It is close to my doctor's and pharmacy. Also close to Walmart and grocery stores.

Nothing very unique here at all. Would not appeal to some very active people who socialize a lot. Many favorite hang outs and restaurants have left the area.

Nothing is good about my neighborhood it's very ugly I don't like living here anymore it's not a good place to raise a family

I like my neighborhood because I can live free, there's a few schools around my house, and the bus always comes down the street

It's easy to walk to bars and restaurants, cute shops, coffee places, and there is usually a market on the weekend. I like to visit new bars and go to breakfast nearby with family and friends.
