What Renters Like and Dislike

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.
