What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Martinez

The location is amazing. I live in a small bedroom community on the Pacific Ocean. We have hiking, biking, bars and food. It's a great tiny town.

There is great access to two freeways. Shopping multiple areas within a few miles. Centrally located

I like how friendly people are. I like being close to family. I like that parks are close. I like that there is a school close and grocery stores nearby. I like that neighbors are usually out and about.

I really love all the restaurants that are nearby, we have great fast food and it's all within a 5 minute walk. My favorite place to go with my friends would definitely be the park because there are great spots to take pictures.

I have friends that live by. There are a lot of corner stores near by and my corner store has really good prices on everything

It's nice and peaceful, we usually go to the nob hill near by and usually go to the park around there to!
