What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Belle Isle

There are several bars and restaurants, too many to choose a favorite. I like taking long walks and relaxing at bars.

very secluded and quiet. Very friendly neighbors. There is a cool self pour tap called the Dooryard at the entry way. We also have 2 gas stations at the entry but not obtrusive to the subdivision. Beautiful homes with well kept yards.

The neighborhood has a good mix of people from various walks of life. There is a good mix of younger and older people also.

I love that I'm next to the highway and next to a high school. It has a dark surrealism that fits. It is so close to Central Park and I have access to everywhere in the city from my apartment.

Neighbors are friendly. The HOA does a lot of events for neighbors to get to know each other. It's a quiet neighborhood. It's close to everything I need.

I enjoy that the neighborhood is small. I also enjoy that there are parks local. I like that we know our neighbors and we all can look out for each other.
