What Renters Like and Dislike About Orange

i dont care for much around here esept some off the food and the parks and grocier store avability thats near buy this area

Near many beautiful parks. Also near an historical downtown areas wuth beautiful shops abd restaurants.s

It is well kept and very safe. Although we have a large Hispanic area nearby there is little trouble with gangs althou neighboring cities have to problems.

It is very convenient to walk to stores, even at night, such as target, vons, or 7/11. There are two parks not too far that has playgrounds for kids and a few schools around.

My actual neighborhood is nice. Neighbors are friendly and homes are kept up for the most part. I like the area somewhat but wish I lived somewhere else.

The common play field is unique about my neighborhood. Restaurants are our hanging out place. We love to go to favorite museum places together.
