What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Rockville

Community aspect and safety are important to me where i live. No major concerns about where I live other than rent keeps increasing

I like where I live because we know the neighbors good and thier kids and everyone looks out for each other.

I like all the trees. I like that there are a lot of cool old houses. I LOVE that Craig's Kitchen is practically right down the street! Antonio's pizza is closeby also.

Proximity to highway. Central to both NYC and Boston. Proximity to health care (hospitals). Proximity to major university.

The same reasons I wrote to the last question. Everything is close and nearby and it is a peaceful place to live.
