                            What Renters Like and Dislike About Washington

                            Close to public transportation. Close to local businesses. It is pretty clean and has greenery even for being in a city.

                            The unique people that live in my complex. The closesness of restaurants that I like. The park that down the street from my house.

                            I love the diversity of people! We can walk to everything we need, including a small grocery store, bank, cleaners, schools, post office and metro. Love our farmers market and the few local restaurants.

                            It's metro-accessible. That's all. I can't really say there's anything in particular that I like about this neighborhood aside from that.

                            I would say we have lots of restaurants neary it's always something to do. My favorite restaurant is the one by my house it's a cool sensory.

                            The neighborhood is old, and the buildings have character. There's a black owned bookstore that always has the most amazing books, I take everyone who visits there.
