What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Ontario

It's a mobile home park so most of the problems the city faces rarely come into the park. Plenty of shopping options close by and parks and schools are abundant.

I love that I live directly behind a shopping center. Not only is my bank located in the shopping center but it also have my fav pho place to eat. My mom loves that the mail salon is also right behind our house. A very convenient place to live in.

I like taking my son to the nearby farms and teaching him about animals. I love the walking trails and green areas nearby.

We live in a point that every local, market a like es near. And many of them, because we are in a limit of 3 cities. There are many parks tha we like to go.

Fairly quiet even when close to a freeway. Favorite local business is a Mexican restaurant/bar where I like to go with friends. Also 'my favorite grocery store, Stater Bros, is nearby .

I love the plans that the community is planning in ghe 10 year plan. Our community is very family friendly. The neighbors are friendly and down to earth.
